EVERY HUMAN being is uniquely valuable,
special, and important because (s)he is created in the image of God.
Goodness, which is in the nature of God, flows through humans with purpose
and good will so that pain and suffering may be transformed into peace and
harmony. How can we increase the flow of God’s goodness into a needy
world? By knowing where to be good, when to be good, how to be good, and
why to be good.

Sam Schmitthenner: The Diary of Rev. Dr. John Aberly
 $ 15.00 ISBN 1-931475-27-X |
REV. DR. JOHN ABERLY was born on September 18, 1867 in Albrightsville, western Pennsylvania. He studied at Gettysburg College and for one year in the Lutheran Theological Seminary. He and Alice Strauss of Gilberts, Pennsylvania were married August 3, 1889. They were called to serve the Lord as missionaries, and in November, 1889 they left for India and served there until 1923. Dr. Aberly and his “dear wife” Alice worked as a team among the Telugu people of Guntur District. They cared for and helped educate two generations of Telugu Church leaders, pastors, Bible trained teachers, and gospel workers. Alice worked with boarding school children, women of the congregation, church music, and gave most gracious hospitality to many visitors. Dr. Aberly, though heavily burdened with parish work, administration of schools, and Bible teaching, edited various church periodicals in Telugu, commentaries for seven books of the Bible, and a complete Telugu Bible Dictionary which took 20 years to complete. His prodigious scholarly Telugu literary works and great teaching ability were, and still are, a gift to the Telugu Church.

Walter Trobisch: The
Misunderstood Man
$ 14.00 |
“Man is suffering, but woman don’t know it.” I once saw these words
painted on a small bus in The unfinished manuscript lay on his desk at the time of his sudden death. The first two chapters were written in his generous longhand with notes on the margin to be included in his second draft. The final section, “The Free Man,” was found only in skeleton form—like the bare bones of a tree in winter that give us only the form of how beautiful the tree would be in spring, summer, and fall. The last part of the book is the answer to the first two. Ingrid Trobisch |
