There are at least three true and ispiring stories here. One, the story of Miss Johnson, her family and her faith which, after floundering, took root in her and led Miss Johnson to missionary service in China. While there, she endured internment during the Japanese occupation. Second, the story of Bible Study Fellowship, born of her experiences and dedication as a missionary. Today, BSF is reaching people internationally. Thirdly, there is the unfolding of the hidden life of prayer and obedience to God's Word, the source and power behind her story.

I want to have my own copy to highlight the numerous key principles I want to apply to my life as a result of reading this book.

Ms Johnson eloquently tells of God's work in her life. The book is truly inspiring and encouraging. Ms Johnson's writing style is more formal than we are used to, yet that adds to the books charm, and it is in no way a "hard read". I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to find out more about God or be encouraged in their faith.

This book is a great read. I found the life experiences of Miss Johnson fascinating. Her life was truly dedicated to God and the experiences she shares show how God weaves all the facets of our lives to work ALL things (good and bad) for the good of those who love Him. This book made me think BIG! I think we all focus too much on matters which don't have eternal importance. It also made me consider what I am doing for God. The main change it brought to my life is my desire to rekindle the Holy Spirit which I had snuffed out many times by not being responsive. Miss Johnson's autobiography caused me to want what she had....the Holy Spirit actively working in her heart.

I read this one twice when we were overseas. Both times it reminded me Whom I was serving. (No, we're not missionaries.)

This book humbled me. I enjoyed it so, so very much.

I can't read theology. I enjoy getting my messages from God through the lives of those who loved Him. Thank God for Wetherell's story.

Wonderful!

This story has inspired me to seek God more fervently. I read the book because I attend a BSF class and wanted to know more about it's founder. What I didn't expect was what I received from the example of her life.....her book has been a life-changing inspiration!

After having participated in Bible Study Fellowship for the last 10 years, I'm glad I finally took the opportunity to "know" A. Wetherell Johnson personally. To God be the Glory!

Reads like a novel but is full of examples of what it means to follow the guide of the Holy Spirit in carrying out His will for our lives.

I have had the pleasure and privilege of attending Bible Study Fellowship for 9 years. It has been such a blessing in my life and has provided firm foundation for my understanding and knowledge of the Bible. So, when I received this book as a gift from a dear friend, I was very enthused to learn the history behind this organization. Reading of Miss Johnson's life experiences, in her own words, was like meeting regularly with a dear saint for coffee. I developed a habit of reading only a chapter or so a week so that I could consider the lesson that her various experiences could teach me. Love the time I spend with this book, how it clearly shows how God can work in our lives, and how to live out a faith in Him! This is a work that I will read repeatedly.

This book is so adorable and yet challenging in many ways. I have heard it said that just as many people were won to Christ by Mrs. Schaeffer's cinnamon rolls as by Mr. Schaeffer's sermon. After reading this book I was so inspired at how God has indeed used Mrs. Schaeffer's life and home for His glory. (The Schaeffer's founded a wonderful ministry called L'Abri in Europe.) As I read her book I felt as though I had found a wise, godly women's feet to sit at and learn. Throughout the book I felt encouraged in my walk with the Lord and spurred on to greater creativity in making my home a place to serve God.

I sent for this book, when I learnt how the author had influenced my friend's life. I found the book enthralling and find it hard to put down. I am a Christian so can relate to what she says in many ways, but to see her faith and complete trust in the Lord is wonderful. It is well written; I often find Christian book hard going, but this is easy to read. I wish I could get more, but it is not available in the uk and cost of postage limits me, to perhaps getting one for another friend at Christmas,
