FOREWORD

IT seems fitting that this little book of personal testimonies to
answered prayer should have a brief introductory word as to how they
came to be written. The question has been asked by some who read many of
these testimonies as they appeared in the pages of The Sunday School
Times: "How could you write such personal and sacred incidents in your
life?" I could not have written them but for a very clear, God-given
leading.

The story is as follows: When in Canada on our first furloughs I was
frequently amazed at the incredulity expressed when definite testimony
was given to an answer to prayer. Sometimes this was shown by an
expressive shrug of the shoulders, sometimes by a sudden silence or
turning of the topic of conversation, and sometimes more openly by the
query: "How do you know that it might not have happened so, anyway?"

Gradually the impression deepened: "If they will not believe one, two,
or a dozen testimonies, will they believe the combined testimonies of
one whole life?"
