In reply to Elaine. I've heard of that one, but I've never read it. I'll definitely add it to my list!!

An older one, but my favorite. The Five Silent Years of Corrie Ten Boom. by Pamela Rosewell Moore. Pam was Corrie’s companion in her elder years. Describes Corrie’s last years of speaking and her years of disabling strokes. Great lessons. When I read it in my younger years it encouraged me not to be afraid to get older. Jesus is able to use us in whatever age we are in.

In reply to Jan Venable. Corrie Ten Boom's "the Hiding Place" is one of my favorites, too! Thanks for reading, Jan. You encourage me!

Thank you so much, Shauna, for these suggestions! I read Philip Yancey's memoir ... what a story. I have to check into Becoming Elisabeth Elliot! As always, reading here is such a blessing

I’m reading “Becoming Elisabeth Elliot” now. She has been a mentor of mine for many years. Another favorite is Corrie Ten Boom. I vibe missionary stories although I never wanted to be a missionary (I refused to sing the old song “wherever he leads I’ll go” as a kid at camp, in the late 1950’s-early 1960’s)
Thank you for these emails -I loved the Wisemen tale at Christmas.
I look forward to reading the other two books you mentioned in this email! Jan
