Despite having a conscience against killing, Tomás was forced to join the Contra rebels in Nicaragua and was swept into a maelstrom of fear and battle, hunger and loneliness, and grief for fallen comrades. When it was over, Tomás drifted far from God, failing to keep promises he had made during moments of wartime terror. He became enslaved to drink, which nearly destroyed his home and wrecked his life. Then visitors arrived in Waslala, bringing the Gospel of peace. Little by little, their words and prayers began to affect Tomás's cold heart. At the foot of the cross, he found forgiveness and true peace. This is his story.

From Contra to Christ

Growing up poor but tough in Nicaragua, Omar Montenegro became fearless and foolhardy. Lured by his uncle’s stories of money and glamour, he crossed illegally into the United States where he discovered the lucrative world of drug dealing. As a child, Omar had longed for love and a happy family of his own. In Los Angeles, he settled down with a woman he loved, hoping his dream was finally coming true. But his dream died when, in a murderous rage, he killed her and fled the country. Now a fugitive, Omar hid on a lonely mountaintop in Nicaragua, vowing to overcome his violent temper. Even there he could not escape the misery and tyranny of sin. Pursued by a persistent God, Omar finally repented and found peace. But how could he find the courage to face his past and make restitution? Chosen From Among the Worst is a true story of God’s marvelous grace, grace that transformed a sinner into a joyful child of God. “And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 1:14).

Chosen From Among the Worst

How big are your fingers? How big are God's fingers? What can your fingers make? What did God's fingers make? Let Pablo Yoder take you on a tour of nature's paradise in Latin America and see the handiwork of God's fingers. Whether you simply gaze at the photos, go deeper and read the stories, or get serious enough to digest the scientific information, this is one tour you can enjoy over and over again.

The Work of Thy Fingers

Teodolinda and her family moved to the Zapotal highlands of Costa Rica to find a better life. But instead of getting better, life became drastically worse. Alcohol and anger gripped their hearts until life became a cycle of drudgery, moonshining, and fighting. Frightened, and disgusted with herself, Teodolinda decided to change. She hung religious symbols on the wall, lit candles to the saints, chanted prayers, and vowed to do better, but her family only slid deeper into sin. Amid this darkness Teodolinda discovered God and His power, against whom the gates of hell could not prevail. A true story.

Death of a Saloon

Deception, neglect, rejection, and abuse were the norm for Karla. Intense rage at her circumstances grew into deep bitterness and hatred, poisoning her soul. Set in Nicaragua and Honduras, La Catracha typifies the mistreated and suffering children around the world who grow into bitter and rebellious youth. This story is told because there is a Solution, a way of hope, restoration, and peace. Given honestly, but carefully, this book is not a book for children.

La Catracha

The small ramshackle house sat on a knoll littered with rocks and boulders. The place was called The Rock Pile, and to Paul (the young Pablo Yoder), it was home. Paul had a loving dad who provided for his family and reached out to neighbors, a devoted mom who supported her mission-minded husband and cared for her children, and a flock of adventurous brothers and sisters. Home on the Rock Pile is a fascinating look at the Sanford Yoder family in the early years of their work in the Blue Ridge hollows near Faith Mission Home.

Home on the Blue Ridge

Sometimes nature shouts like the thunder of waves on a rocky shore. Sometimes it whispers like autumn leaves that dance from the treetops to the forest floor. Always it carries a message. God has spoken clearly through the work of His hands. Pablo Yoder treats us to another amazing tour of plants and wildlife in Central and South America in The Work of His Hands, a companion to his earlier book, Work of Thy Fingers. From a two-toed sloth to the giant Amazon water lily to a lumbering hippopotamus, each chapter is brimful of joyful enthusiasm for God's creation. Gain a deeper appreciation for God's handiwork through stories, facts, and photographs that display His might, creativity, and magnificence.
