Author(s):
The personal story of one of the founders of the Caux centre.

From the preface by Dr Paul Tournier: ‘There are already plenty of books about famous missionaries and eminent evangelists. But they are the life-stories of exceptional people, and they leave the reader uninvolved, because he himself lacks such gifts...

'An autobiography like this one is a real complement to such books, since it is the story of an ordinary woman, who after a difficult childhood worked hard for many years at baking good cakes for the love of God and love of her neighbour...

'I got to know her well at the time when she founded and ran the hostel called The Great Adventure. I also knew her friend Marie-Liette, and shared their enthusiasm. It was just such simple, concrete witness as theirs that first touched me and changed my own life.’
