This book is an inspiring story of a woman who answered God's call to the Lisu people of China. It was the 1920s, and a young lady named Isobel Selina Miller was making her mark in the theater, social, and academic world. But through her mother's prayers and after a tragic romance, "Belle" discovered peace with God. As a certified teacher, she was met with the same struggles in her new-found faith that others have faced. After reading about Hudson Taylor and the China Inland Mission, she felt a call to China and, specifically, to the Lisu people. Preparation at Moody Bible Institute was completed with honors, and eventually she sailed for China as a missionary. There she married John Kuhn whom she had first met during her training at Moody. Together they faced hardships, long separations, severe illness, war, and death itself. Yet through all this the church among the Lisu people grew in faith and the knowledge of Jesus Christ. This challenging and inspiring story gives new understanding to "pioneer missionary work!" - Back cover.
