Isobel Kuhn: on the Roof of the World (Christian Heroes: then & Now)

Written for ages 10 and up -- enjoyed by adults!

As a fourteen-year-old intent on living a "modern" life, the last thing Isobel Kuhn wanted to grow up to be was a missionary. But as it turned out, this young agnostic's life was redirected -- from crisis and doubt to hope and strength. Convinced that God wanted her to preach the gospel as a China Inland missionary, Isobel bravely served among the Lisu people in remote mountainous regions of China and Thailand. After more than twenty years of ministry, Isobel returned to the United States, writing stirring stories of faith that have inspired generations of readers.
