<p>The history of any movement is always complex. At best its dynamic can be only partially understood. This is true of the Mennonite Brethren living in Russia of the 1860s and 1870s. Their story can only be understood in the context of the political, social and religious world in which they lived and the circumstances associated with its ongoing transformation. The Mennonite Brethren story is one of becoming and so the laudatory and the contradictory, the good and the bad are generously mixed. The author has tried to tell both sides of the early Brethren story. He has written a narrative history which will contribute much to a better understanding of the dynamics which shaped the early Mennonite Brethren experience in Russia.</p>

It is now one hundred and thirty years since the birth of the Mennonite Brethren Church and therefore time for someone in that church to take a backward glance to see how we have done. Who better to do this then J.B.Toews whose life spans well over half of those years and who has experienced much of what he writes. He desires to call us to reflection, spiritual awareness and ultimately to repentance and renewal. May God grant that we heed his call. Foreword by Abraham Friesen

<p>This book contains four stories of survival. The storytellers, two women and two men, believed in a loving God who cared about humankind. Thanks to Stalin's reign of terror they found themselves in many life-threatening circumstances where God appeared not to care. All four persons struggled with doubt, fear and despair. Like Job of old, they questioned God and like him they also affirmed faith.</p>
