Concise introduction to Mennonite roots & world-wide presence.

"This book introduces a few of the thousands of persons who have served in
North America and overseas with MCC. The fifteen brief biographies include
eyewitness accounts of the initial vision for MCC in 1920, the resettlement of
refugees following World War II, and the healing of lepers today. Throughout
the world ,MCC's greatest contribution in almost any situation is not the
dollars and goods it compassionately makes available but the faith and love its
workers bring." --back cover

The twelve stories in this book are about people trying to become what God wanted them to be. All these people had a part in the history of the Mennonite Church. The book can be used in a variety of ways: family settings, small groups, and Sunday school classes.

[back cover] This book is a history of Mennonites from the sixteenth century to the present. Though simply written, it reflects fine scholarship and deep Christian concern. The Anabaptists found guidance through direct Bible study by individuals and small groups. They accepted the words of Jesus as final authority. Called "Sermon on the Mount Christians" by friend and foe alike, they believed that word and deed belong together in Christian living.
