Powerful, Moving Story

I read this book to my son and daughter a few weeks ago. It was so exciting -- many times we couldn't help ourselves and had to keep reading! I think the title is excellent and true to the book, because you see God's Power in a way that we in the United States don't often get to. Demonic influence was strong in the people group Joanne Shetler ministered to, but God showed His power was greater than that of the spirits the Balangao people feared. This story also made that little spot on the map labeled "Philippines" mean something to my children -- they equate the entire group of islands with the Balangao people!

The Word Truly Makes a Difference

This is a great example of what God can do with a person who surrenders her life to Him! It gives the 20 year story of how Joanne Shetler gave of herself to move far away and live among the Balangao people group in the Philippines. This tells many of her adventures along the journey. It goes from learning the culture and language, through the trials and hardships of dealing with a culture that succumbs to evil spirits, and onto the completion of God's plan for these wonderful people. "God truly is more powerful that the Spirits!" I read this with my six and eight year old daughters as part of our homeschool curriculum and they really enjoyed it. You and your family will enjoy it as well.
