Here Am I: Send Me

by Maxine Blair James Baker

The heartfelt story of James Drew Baker, a Southem Baptist Minister. This stirring autobiographical account tells of his early years on a farm near Cauthron, Arkansas, his falling in love with his future wife Charlene, their separation when his family moved to California and their reunion years later. It tells how James and Charlene made a life for themselves in God’s service and how they were hit with adversity when she was stricken with Alzheimer’s disease. Rev. James Baker, in partnership with Maxine Blair has presented this life history to show how a couple could continue to show love for God and each other through their joint faith. Rev. Baker had to acknowledge that while his wife was in Royal Oaks" Convalescent Home, she was not going to come home again, and he was destined to continue his life alone. Here Am Send Me is recommended for its inspiration, optimism, courageous point of view, and comfort to all who have suffered a similar fate. Maxine Blair
