If you enjoy reading about the lives of great Christians, you’ll love this biography of Harold St. John. Harold's daughter, Patricia St. John, did the Christian world an enormous favor when she put together this fascinating portrait of her father. Somehow her portrayal manages to be exciting, inspiring, challenging, amusing and edifying all at the same time. It makes compelling reading from start to finish--hard to put down once you’ve picked it up. Harold was one of the most gifted Bible teachers of his day, and the story of his life and influence is as relevant now as ever. His life was hid with Christ in God, and out of his inward parts there flowed a river of joy and peace and blessedness that enriched everyone it touched. This biography has been out of print for many years and only available from select used book dealers. Kingsley Press considers it a great privilege to be able to make this amazing story available once again to all who are interested in getting to know more about the life of this man of God. The publishers were personally acquainted with the author before she passed on, and the re-publishing of this title has been undertaken with the full concurrence and hearty co-operation of the author's sister, Hazel. Patricia St. John is best known for her numerous children's books, which have blessed generations of young people. Such titles as "Treasures of the Snow", "The Tanglewood's Secret", and "The Mystery of Pheasant Cottage" hold a special place in many a heart and mind. Some of her stories are now available in 40 different languages, and some have been made into full length films. But Patricia St. John did not only write for children; she wrote a number of books for grown-ups, too, and the biography of her father is not least among them. It is a spiritual classic in its own right. Anyone who remembers reading her children's stories in their growing up years will delight to read about the father, the parents, and the home that shaped and molded Patricia St. John. Patricia served for many years on the mission field in Africa, and she was involved in children's work in various parts of the world. She remained active in the work of the Lord until her death in 1993.
