Missionary Biography Recommendations by Michele
Dear Bethany Family,
Thank-you for all of the positive feedback after our first “Missionary Moment”!
I thought it would be helpful to write down a few of the highlights of the Christian biography series that I will continue to share with you.
If you are wondering why you should read Christian Biography I will tell you that it is a great way to see God working in the lives of His people. It is also a beautiful picture of people living in complete dependence on Him. James 4:8 tells us, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” These books are one of the ways to do that! Please let me know if you read one of them so that we can talk about it!

I put a star next to my personal favorites but please look for your own!
Dr. David C. Thompson M.D. also wrote The Hand On My Scalpel as a sequel to his autobiography. I recommend it highly!
All are available on the Kindle App through Amazon as e-books here. You can buy the whole package for about 25.00. You can also purchase them individually if you prefer.
The Hand On My Scalpel would be a separate purchase for 2.99 here as it is not part of the original collection.
All of these Missionaries served with the Christian and Missionary Alliance. They are part of our church family! Enjoy getting to know them!
Sincerely,
Michele
