I Planted a Seed [Paperback]

Bill Quisenberry (Author), Adeline Quisenberry (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: 2000

The Book "I Planted A Seed" has a beginning in the Pan Handle of Oklahoma during depression days. Life was at its worst for Bill Quisenberry and his family. Starvation and other hardships were a threat to them all. Finally, the family moved to Pomona, California. There, in church, he met his wife and eventually they served on two foreign mission fields. Much of that part of the story depicts raising their six children on the island of Okinawa. Since they were Faith Missionaries they learned early how to trust God for their needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Planted a Seed in ME!, October 30, 2000

By

This review is from: I Planted a Seed (Paperback)

This book kept me up late! It was hard to put down! I had to remind myself over and over that what I was reading was actually true. What adventure! Many people go through "hard times", but this family showed me how their faith "got them through" those times. I have it so easy in my life, comparatively, I kept asking myself, "Would I have had that much faith?" - Don't think I can answer that, really, I'm not who they are, BUT I now have a "real life" example of "faith in action" that I can remember to encourage me while I'm going through "hard times".[The seed] This book is a story of how God really does hear believers' prayers and answers them and is always watching over us. (I also see one of the authors "walk the talk". She is genuine.) This is a GREAT GIFT for friends and family! Enjoy the exciting stories! P.S. I'm assigning it for homeschool reading material for my 11 and 9 year olds

5.0 out of 5 stars The "Seed" is now a fruitful tree..., July 1, 2001

By 

Mike Bugal (Centralia, MO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Planted a Seed (Paperback)

This book is testimony to a couple who yielded themselves to God for service and who will forever be near and dear to those of us whose life they touched. They planted much more than "a" seed... there are presently more than a thousand "seeds" involved in either full or part time ministry around the world. As one who lived a small part of what is outlined in this book I cannot recommend it highly enough. I pray that it will inspire others to follow in their footsteps and encourage more to become missionaries... rather overseas or right in their schools or workplace.
