Overview
Weeding an onion patch, facing an armed witch doctor, traveling the roadless savannas of central Africa were events in the dramatic life of Estella Myers. Miss Myers was a remarkable woman – not only because of her unusual life and her many achievements, but also because the incidents of her story remind us that God can work wonders through one unpretentious life.
Author Bio
Ruth Snyder was born in Pennsylvania, and like Miss Myers, of Brethren background. She is a graduate of Ashland College and Grace Theological Seminary (M. Div.). Ruth was a friend and coworker of Miss Myers, who refused permission to several people to write her biography, reserving that privilege for a fellow missionary. After Miss Myers' death, this story was written as she had requested, and is now presented to lovers of missions in this book.
