Holding Nothing BackThe intriguing story of a one-time Hitler youth who became a missionary statesman Ernst Vatter: A Portrait of Perseverance An excellent read for: Homeschoolers, WWII veterans and spouses, lovers of biography. Languages Available: English and German Ernst Vatter is living proof that in every detail of life God works out His purposes for His glory. Ernst, like many other German teens, was swept up in the fervor of the Hitler youth movement. Suddenly, with Germany’s defeat, the dream shattered, and he soon found himself sick and starving in a filthy, vermin-ridden prison. But God was there, living in the heart of a fellow prisoner. Death, disease and danger pursued Ernst as God worked out His purposes in his life. Ernst served, with his wife Sigrid, as a missionary in Japan and became the overseas director of The Libenzell Mission, which now manages about 250 missionaries in 22 countries. You will laugh. You will cry. And you will see a reflection of yourself as Ernst Vatter struggles with his faith and his failures–and wins. From Dr. Stephen Olford (deceased) |
