I thank God for With Two Hands, where I get a preview of a heavenly story. Thank you, Rebecca Davis, for giving us and our children a glimpse of God’s work through the life of Dick McLellan and the hidden heroes of the Ethiopian church. ~ Noel Piper, wife of John Piper and author of Faithful Women and Their Extraordinary God

We are REALLY enjoying The Good News Must Go Out!  I wish you could see the spontaneous smiles that appear on the kids’ faces as we read.  They love Kongi and the way everyone calls Margaret “Mama” (and “BIG Mama”!).  And my heart is just stirred as we read!  We serve such an amazing God who delights in meeting our needs in the most unexpected ways. ~Melissa, mother of four

My daughter just finished reading With Daring Faith earlier today. She brought it out to me and said, “You just HAVE to read this book, Mom! It’s really great! You’ll LOVE it!” ~Sheri, mother of three

Last night at dinner, one of my children said “When we finish reading it, can we see the movie of With Two Hands?” ~Sharon Hambrick, author and mother of five

What a wonderful book on the life of George Mueller the Lord enabled you to write! I have tried reading different books to our children about him, but they were all disappointing. What an exciting, joyous surprise to find your book full of the excitement and enthusiasm that I had always thought should shine forth from a testimony of the life of such a man of prayer. We have been and continue to praise and thank God that He enabled you to write the book so that we can enjoy reading it together. Thank you for being a willing vessel in His hands. ~Vicky, mother of eight

I really liked  With Daring Faith. It’s my favorite book to read about Amy Carmichael! Thank you for writing books like these! ~Anne, age 13

Dear Mrs. Davis, I really appreciate your book! I was amazed at Fanny Crosby’s joyful faith! It was amazing to think that even when she was blind she could trust the Lord. Then I realized that I wanted to be like that, and I needed to be like that. Sometimes I do not have that attitude, and I’m not blind! I also want to ask you if you will pray that I will have the attitude of Fanny Crosby. My mom and I talked a little and I decided to have a quiet time. After I prayed I felt like I had a new family, a new Father, and a whole new life. I couldn’t wait to get started! ~Leandra, age 9

My heart was touched by the wonderful stories [in With Two Hands] of how God has worked and continues to work through His servants in Ethiopia. If we read these inspiring stories to our children and grandchildren, we may well find a rekindled heart for missions and be encouraged to pray that the Lord of the Harvest might send out more laborers into His fields. ~ A.A. “Buzz” Baker, Assistant to the President, Child Evangelism Fellowship, Inc.

With Daring Faith was one of the best books I have ever read. In fact, I have read this book THREE times in the past two years! It really brought Amy, aka Amma, to life. She actually became a real person to me. I also got to know what India was like through the book. The author did an excellent job with the description and the storytelling. I would truly recommend this book to someone wanting to know more about Amy Carmichael. ~JacketFlap review

We were able to read The Good News Must Go Out before it was published, and my kids were hanging on every word and still talk about some of the stories. ~Alicia, mother of four

My husband read Fanny Crosby last night and said it made him want to cry. Our daughter insists that I read it, too, which I plan to do. You must be an excellent writer to be getting such rave reviews! ~Jennie, mother of three

Every biography I read before was boring, dull, and just didn’t seem to turn me on. But my thoughts changed when I read this powerful, exciting, inspiring, and thought provoking biography, With Daring Faith, by Rebecca Davis. This book tells the true story of Amy Carmichael’s unpredictable life. It takes you on a roller coaster ride with the ups and downs of Amy’s courageous missionary work in India. I honestly don’t know how you could read this book and not be convicted of your sins and realize how wonderful our God really is.
This biography of Amy Carmichael is without a doubt the best biography I’ve ever read. Reading this book made me realize how hungry Amy Carmichael was to share the Gospel with so many people, and it inspired me. I highly recommend this book! It is an easy read, short, but great book. I promise you’ll enjoy it. ~Sam, age 15

With Two Hands is a collection of 18 amazing stories of God’s work in Ethiopia in the mid to late 1900s through the ministry of Dick and Vida McLellan. The stories will keep you on the edge of your seat with bated breath as you encounter witchdoctors, angry mobs, armed tribesmen, corrupt officials, and harrowing escapes. Each story clearly outlines the hand of God in the lives of the missionaries and their co-workers.
Dick and Vida McLellan became missionaries to Ethiopia in the late 1950s and stayed there for over 30 years throughout Ethiopia’s troubled history of communism and hostility to the Gospel. The power of God was undeniable in the things they witnessed during their time there.
These stories will challenge your faith, grow your vision of God, and spark a flame in your heart for those who haven’t heard the Gospel. Watch as witchdoctors raise two hands in the air and proclaim, “With this hand I renounce the devil and all his works! With this hand I surrender to Jesus Christ! All that I have and all that I am!”
This book is written for children, and care is taken to be tasteful in the telling of the sensitive stories. However, the stories are full of intrigue, hair-raising encounters, and adventure. Truly the work of the cross is never boring. For any family who wants to raise world-changers, this book should be added to their repertoire. A study guide is included in the back of the book with discussion questions for each story and Scripture references. ~Old Schoolhouse Magazine review

What a great book! George Mueller: A Father for the Fatherless is a biography for younger children (I read it to my 8-year-old daughter). He left quite an impact on England in the 1800′s having established orphanages where there were none, and supporting missionary causes during his 90 some years of life. He was also a preacher and traveled to 40+ countries encouraging others to also have the passionate, trusting faith he had in his own life that resulted in the success of these numerous orphanages. I had never heard of this man before reading this, but I see now he truly is one to be known. He changed the lives of thousands of children, and in turn thousands of families. I was really excited to learn of his testimony and pass his words of wisdom on to my own kids. ~Heather, mother of three

With Daring Faith was one of my very favorite books when I was younger. I read and reread this book! After reading about Amy Carmichael, I was convinced that I wanted to do what she did, and was especially happy to know that my eyes were the same color as Amy’s. Thank you for writing good biographies for children (though I wouldn’t say they’re just for children!). With Daring Faith was not only an enjoyable book to read, but also encouraging and inspiring. ~Jessica, former child

I really enjoyed reading The Good News Must Go Out. The length of each chapter is perfect and the style of writing is also very readable for fourth graders. Your sentences and paragraphs are of the appropriate complexity and length for fourth graders. The book is interesting so that either a teacher could read the book aloud to the class or a fourth grader could read it on their own. ~JoAnn Fitch, fourth-grade teacher

When I was eleven, With Daring Faith was my favorite book. I honor [Amy Carmichael] for the love in the work that she did, and the faith that held her steady through a difficult and challenging life. She was an amazing woman. With Daring Faith brought much of that to life for me when I was young. I remember being inspired by Amy’s story and being challenged to live a more honest, open life because of it. . . . You also told a great story, and told it well. I remember being on the edge of my seat—and being opened into a deeper awareness of social issues. ~Katie, former child

In contrast to our western culture where big names and well- merchandized personalities are promoted and applauded, With Two Hands gives the stories of Ethiopia’s unknown heroes. They sacrificed everything, sometimes their lives, that the unreached in Ethiopia’s forgotten corners of the harvest field might know the love of the Lord.
Read this book. Share these stories with your children. Pass it on to your friends. It will touch your heart and theirs, challenge the depth of your commitments, and energize your witness to the greatness of our Lord Jesus. ~Bark Fahnestock, SIM Missionary, Ethiopia

George Mueller: A Father to the Fatherless will bring enjoyment, learning, and spiritual growth to the whole family. Without glamorizing the sin, Davis tells the story exactly like it is. Aimed at elementary children, there is enough true and exciting adventure, sorrow, and joy in this book to interest everyone from preschoolers to adults. George Mueller makes an especially good choice for a family read-together session or devotion time. Schools and church groups will enjoy reading and discussing it. Then, you will want to try Rebecca Davis’ other books: With Daring Faith: A Biography of Amy Carmichael, and Fanny Crosby: Queen of Gospel Songs. ~ Donna Eggett, christianbookpreviews.com

With Daring Faith was my favorite book when I was young. I kept it under my pillow for a whole year. ~Melinda, former child
