Synopsis

Seventy-some stories, with nearly 60 illustrations. Ideal for home-schoolers; family get-togethers; gifts to shutins, and the elderly.“World War I (often abbreviated as WWI or WW1), also known as the First World War or the Great War, was a global war originating in Europe that lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918. Contemporaneously described as ‘the war to end all wars’, it led to the mobilisation of more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, making it one of the largest wars in history. It is also one of the deadliest conflicts in history, with an estimated nine million combatant and seven million civilian deaths as a direct result of the war, while resulting genocides and the resulting 1918 influenza pandemic caused another 50 to 100 million deaths worldwide.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_IThese are not stories of war. They are stories of deliverances amidst war. They teach the lesson of trust in God in times of distress and trouble—a lesson that can never be too well learned. These narratives may help us to sing yet more confidently the Refuge Psalm, which has cheered trusting hearts through generations:“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.“Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.“There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.“God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.” Psalm 46:1-5.Stories of personal providences began to come to us from out the areas of conflict as soon as ever the World War began in Europe.This book is a collection of testimonies to delivering mercies in wartimes, the stories being told by those who saw the intervening arm stretched forth to deliver from difficulty or peril. Introductory details are here and there added only as necessary to help the reader understand the setting of the various narratives as to time and place.Names and places are not always given, as intimate talk about personal experiences in some cases might needlessly embarrass or make trouble.While here listing some of the special providences, we must not fail to acknowledge the continuous providences of all those stormy years, in experiences very ordinary, in a way, and yet indicative of Heaven’s watchcare in the little things of everyday work and service.The stories are in eight groupings— STORIES FROM WESTERN EUROPE; IN THE WAR ZONES OF CENTRAL EUROPE; IN SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE; ALONG THE BORDER LANDS; THROUGH THE WAR YEARS IN RUSSIA; SIBERIAN EXPERIENCES; IN MOSLEM LANDS; BEYOND THE WAR ZONES
