For over fifty years Margaret Laird has served her Lord in the heart of Africa. She entered French Equatorial Africa in 1922 and recounts in the book some of her many experiences in the school of faith. The stories are unforgettable and, in fact, you will find yourself repeating them to others. While this book is not a biography in the usual sense, it does permit us to look at missionary life through the windows of her experience. You will realize that miracles do happen in this generation and that we have a God who hears and answers prayer. - Foreword.
