Description

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.

About the Author

Marie Monsen (1878-1962) was a Spirit-filled Norwegian missionary to North and Central China for a period of thirty years, during which time she was used by God in revival, accounts of which can be read in her other book, The Awakening. This revival was the precursor to the great revival of the underground church recorded by Brother Yun in The Heavenly Man.

VERY edifying and encouraging book! I bought 2 more a gifts!
Comment
To me, the real heroes of the faith are the missionaries...Their selflessness, their courage and their facing such primitive situations in addition to the dangers is remarkable...They show us how to call on God and stand on His promises even in our everyday lives...I may not have to face down bandits or run out of food, or be all alone on a foreign field, but I do have to face other trials and this book is a wonderful example of how to do that in the Lord. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to live a faithful, holy life...
Comment
I had not heard of Marie Monsen before but was very encouraged by her deep trust in the Lord. He never let her down and that is an encouragement that He will never let me down.
Comment
I love the two books by Marie Monsen. In this one, she tells of events during her time as a missionary in China. They show how she depended on God, and applied His promises daily. We see, too, how God was faithful to his promises as she used them to protect a large group from lawless bandits, make herself seemingly invisible for hours to a drunken bad man, and live among pirates for a month, making them treat their captives decently as she stood on promises. Reading this, I understand that nothing is impossible for those who fully trust the Lord.

I am so thankful that Kingsbury Press published Marie Monsen’s books. Her ministry was primarily responsible for the spread of true Christianity through China , even in the face of severe persecution. To have lost these books would have been a great loss.
Comment
A deeply encouraging account of God's detailed care and faithfulness and power. This book will be a blessing to all who read it. "Nothing ever happens by chance to God's children".
Comment
Wow! I was BLESSED by the real-life situations she was in and how the Holy Spirit spoke a Scripture from The LORD and when SHE acted on that prompting and spoke it out...the LORD stood behind His WORD and met her need. This validates (to me) the great importance of meditating, reading, memorizing GOD'sWORD!
Comment
I found the stories related truly inspirational! The book caused me to look beyond the ordinary Christian life to the normal supernatural we are called to live.
Comment
Very good book! Excellent encouragement for the believer that God is real and involved in our lives! Prayer works!
Comment
This is a recounting of personal experiences where Marie Monsen saw first hand how God protected her while serving the people of China early in the 1900s.

I have heard many times about Amy Carmichael and her mission work in China but had never heard the stories of Marie Monsen. This is a great stoy of captivity, release, bandits, armies, looters, how God did protect this missionary and how she thrived through it all.

The book is based on Psalm 46:1 – “God is our refuge and strength – a very present help in trouble.”
