This review is from: A Cup of Good Water (Paperback)

Having been to Guatemala several times on volunteer mission trips, this book provided me a greater understanding of and appreciation for the K'ekchi' people. Fran Eachus has shared a wonderful story of how God can take the talents and abilities of two young women who were AVAILABLE and use them to help reach a whole people group.

A good book for anyone interested in missions. I thoroughly enjoyed the book - it is easy to read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Remarkable Courage in the Face of Overwhelming Odds, December 4, 2006

By 

W. Terry Whalin "Publisher/ Editor / Writer" (Scottsdale, Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Cup of Good Water (Paperback)

Two single women from the United States came to Guatemala in the mid-1950s because they needed a typist and a literacy worker. For the next 50 years, these two women, Francis Eachus and Ruth Carlson worked among the Kekchi people of Guatemala. Fran Eachus has written a beautiful autobiography of her experiences in Guatemala.

It's a story of the life-changing power of God to transform the Kekchis but also to work in the lives of Fran and Ruth. Your own faith will grow as you read about these experiences.
