HANDICAPS 1, HANDICAPS 2 & OLD AGE—Call Back Volume 3

Description

Call Back volume 3 now consists of Handicaps 1, Handicaps 2 and Old Age, previously printed as individual books in the Call Back Series, all of which came into being largely from the extensive files of Edwin and Lillian Harvey. Both volumes of Handicaps relate stories of people such as Fanny Crosby, John Milton, Helen Keller, Longfellow, Tennyson, Robert Louis Stevenson and others, who overcame some handicap and blessed many fellow-sufferers out of their pain.  They trusted God when their lives were redirected, perhaps through some physical deformity, blindness, deafness, the weight of a crushing sorrow or as a result of multiple bereavements, an incompatible partner in life or business, the weight of crushing poverty, or the pain of social ostracism. Old Age makes up the final section of Call Back volume 3. Among the many fascinating stories in this book, written by Lillian G. Harvey and her daughter, Trudy Harvey Tait, you will read about Granny Brand who refused to “retire” from the mission field until her death at ninety-four. You will also discover how George Müller traveled 200,000 miles preaching the gospel after his 70th birthday! We moderns often put a great premium upon youth, but this book encourages  those of us who are considered “senior citizens” to never forget that sometimes the greatest accomplishments of life have taken place in old age!
