About the Author

This book was complied by Mary Hellen Miller, who raised four sons with her husband, Nelson, in the country near Kalona, Iowa, known as Iowa's Amishland. She grew up in the Mennonite tradition, which accepts more modern conveniences. The philosophy that "faith and action are bound to relieve human suffering" has played an active role in the Miller family. They have all served in some capacity to offer humanitarian aid in Central America and in Alaska.
