Book Description
The compassionate and compelling true story of a young nurse who left behind an idyllic rural life in post-war Britain to work in the world's most turbulent war zones. Anne Watts grew up in a small village in north Wales in the 1940s. Defying her Merchant Navy father's dated views, she trained as a nurse and midwife, joined the Save the Children Fund, and was posted to Vietnam in 1967. Once there, Anne was faced with a vision of hell that her training at Manchester's Royal Infirmary had barely prepared her for. Thrown in at the deep end, she witnessed the random cruelty of warfare, nursing injured and orphaned children and caring for wounded and dying servicemen. She went on to take her skills to the victims of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, to Lebanon during the Israeli occupation, and Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm. Over some forty-five years Anne has brought her courage and compassion to those most in need of help. Woven into this vivid, compelling memoir is perhaps the most moving story of all - how Anne's idyllic childhood was shattered by a shocking family tragedy when she was 10 years old. A tragedy that was to shape her destiny. ‘A magnificent life story. I feel humbled by Anne Watts' experiences' Jennifer Worth, author of Call the Midwife

Drawing on his experience as a school psychologist, It's Always About The Children is a window into Charles Barrett's passion for serving students and philosophical orientation to public education.

Book Description
Even the most desperate poverty, the most devastating illness, the most heart-wrenching grief is not beyond God's help. His love and power have no limits-and that's a message readers from all walks of life need to hear. The modern miracles that Rolland and Heidi Baker experience every day in their work with Mozambique's throwaway children, movingly chronicled in Always Enough, will inspire anyone looking for hope in the midst of suffering. The Bakers, formerly missionaries in Indonesia and Hong Kong, share how their work for the past eight years in Mozambique, one of the poorest nations on earth, has borne spiritual fruit beyond their wildest dreams. Every day presents multiple impossible needs. But in the face of everything Satan can do, as Rolland and Heidi lay down their lives and "minister to the one," there is always enough. Readers will discover that the simple practice of choosing to step out and trust God every day unleashes his provision for every need.
