A Present Help
Does your faith in the God of the impossible need reviving? Do you think that stories of walls of fire and hosts of guardian angels protecting God's children are only for Bible times? Then you should read the amazing accounts in this book of how God and His unseen armies protected and guided Marie Monsen, a Norwegian missionary to China, as she traveled through bandit-ridden territory spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ and standing on the promises of God. You will be amazed as she tells of an invading army of looters who ravaged a whole city, yet were not allowed to come near her mission compound because of angels standing sentry over it. Your heart will thrill as she tells of being held captive on a ship for twenty-three days by pirates whom God did not allow to harm her, but instead were compelled to listen to her message of a loving Savior who died for their sin. As you read the many stories in this small volume your faith will be strengthened by the realization that our God is a living God who can still bring protection and peace in the midst of the storms of distress, confusion and terror-a very present help in trouble.

What a joy it was to read this book and to be reminded how faithful our God truly is. His Word is filled with promises that He has made through the ages and He has kept every one of them. How I desire to have the faith of Marie Monsen when the trials show up in my life. May I make His promises a part of my life as well. Just like salvation, the gift is there, all we need to do is accept it for ourselves. This is true of God's promises. God is the anchor in the lives of the believer's heart. He is always faithful and He never changes. Marie Monsen attests to that fact in this wonderful short book.

God truly is amazing!
Wonderful stories of God's provision, care and protection. You cannot help but be blessed by the power of God no matter how dark the circumstances. Whereever God leads you He will make a way.

Inspirating
Such an encouraging account of Marie's time serving the Lord in China. I would recommend it to anyone for encouragement.
