“Hush, hush, dear little sister, do not cry so; it almost breaks my heart to hear you,” said Marcia, choking down her own sobs with a great effort.

Very hard indeed are the days following the death of Marcia and Ellen’s mother. Daily they pray and ask the Lord to take care of them and to save their poor drinking father, whom they love dearly. The responsibility of finding food for them rests on Marcie, the older of the two girls.

Marcia entered the store, approached the counter and said in a trembling voice, “Please, Mr Greene, let me have a little flour or meal to make a cake for breakfast.”

“I suppose you have the money to pay for it.” said the man, looking sharply at her.

“But I have no money.” said Marcia, while tears slowly gathered in her large, gray eyes.

“Well, ask your father for some. Tell him I saw him taking a walk last night by moonlight, and I would advise him, for decency’s sake, to stop drinking and take care of his children.”

Poor little Marcia’s heart gave a great bound at these cruel words, and she turned away in an agony of tears.

This true story tells not only about Sandi’s sad childhood and confused teen years, but also about the answers she found in God. Sandi learned that where sin abounds, grace does much more abound. Read her story and rejoice in the providence and grace of God. Read it and weep for the many in our society who are like her and have never met God.

Grandma had to go to the canals more often now, for they all drank more water in an effort to lesson the emptiness that gnawed within. They also went to bed early, for in sleep the body did not realize its suffering….The evening shadows were lengthening and Dilek’s hunger became urgent. Yet she dared not ask Mama for food, for there was none.

Dilek is the true account of a family fleeing Communist persecution in the days after the Communists took over Russia. The Reimer family struggled through hunger, separations, deaths, torture, and despair to find freedom. More than freedom, they finally found the knowledge of God and salvation through His son, Jesus Christ. Their only child, Dilek, showed them the way to spiritual freedom through her undaunted courage and faith.
