Christian Focus Publications Ltd Elizabeth Prentiss: More Love
Book SynopsisElizabeth was a bright young girl who knew what it was to have a heart sore with troubles. Born in Portland, Maine in the United States, Elizabeth was deeply impacted by the death of her father, who suffered from tuberculosis. However, in those early days she found that Jesus Christ and his love was her strength. Living life as a Christian wife and mother didn’t mean that suffering became part of her past. She also had health problems and two of her own children died. Elizabeth Prentiss continued to turn to her loving Heavenly Father for love and support, while also using her talent with the pen to bring glory to God and help to others in their time of need. Her hymn ‘More Love to Thee’ was a declaration of love to her Saviour – Once earthly joy I craved, Sought peace and rest; Now Thee alone I seek, Give what is best; This all my prayer shall be: More love, O Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee, More love to Thee!

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Francis & Edith Schaeffer: Taking on the World
Book SynopsisTwo young people, one faith and a shared passion for the truth of God’s Word – that was the beginning of the story of Francis and Edith Schaeffer. Together, they wanted to follow wherever God would lead them and to share the Good News about Jesus with whoever God would send them. But little did they imagine that God would lead them to a remote village in the mountains of Switzerland. Nor did they foresee how God would use their ministry in that little mountain chalet to impact people all over the world. Francis and Edith Schaeffer opened their home to anyone searching for truth. They spent their whole lives helping people to see that the Bible’s answers to life’s questions are relevant and true; in their time, and for all time.
