Beschreibung:
Elizabeth Hershberger Bauman (1924-1995), lived much of her life in Goshen, Indiana, where she was a mother of four children; school teacher; and active in her congregation. She and her husband, Harold E. Bauman, served in Ireland for two years in reconciliation work. Coals of Fire was written at the request of the Mennonite Church in 1954 and has become a classic on Christian peacemaking and nonresistance.
Written for elementary age children (but of interest to teens and adults), this book by Elizabeth Hershberger Bauman contains the true stories of men and women who practiced returning good for evil. For some it meant martyrdom. For others it meant nursing sick refugees and giving them warm clothes. The 17 stories here are excellent for reading aloud. Allan Eitzen, illustrator. 136 Pages.
