Ordinary Woman, Extraordinary Faith: The Autobiography of Patricia St. John (North wind books)

Rating:
Summary: An excellent and realistic account of a Christian life.
Review: This autobiography of the author of such classics as "Treasure in the Snow" and "Star of Light" is itself a real treasure. Patricia St. John doesn't engage in any "everything is happy happy happy" account of her life. There is a realism and depth that those who take their Christian life seriously can connect and relate to. In my own opinion, the poem near the end "The Alchemist" is in itself worth the price of the book. If you are skeptical of the popular evangelical cliches that trivialize Christian experiance and Biblical truths about the Christian life, this book will be breath of fresh air.
