Stand As a Witness: The Biography of Ardeth Greene Kapp [Hardcover]

Anita Thompson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 30, 2005

A month prior to the April 1984 general conference, Ardeth Greene Kapp had an undeniable impression that a major calling loomed on the horizon. When the call came to serve as Young Women general president, she approached it with the same faith and optimism that has always been a hallmark of her life. As a young girl in the rural prairie town of Glenwood, Alberta, Canada, she could not have anticipated the experiences that awaited her in the farthest reaches of the world. "When I was young," Ardeth recalls, "I thought the noblest thing in this life was to be a mother. I have since learned that the best mission in life is the one the Lord has prepared for me." This intimate portrayal captures the joys and challenges in a life that did not follow the expected path, but that prepared a woman to fulfill a mighty role in the Lord's kingdom.

I picked up this book to read about Ardeth Kapp because of her struggles with infertility. I wanted to read how she dealt with it and how it changed her life. Although she didn't share a lot about her struggles her story is amazing and she is a gifted and talented woman of God. She desires to serve others and be obedient. It was inspirational. I only wish she would have shared a little bit more about being able to come to the peace she feels regarding her childlessness.
