mari klassen

...little Mari spotted a cup on the windowsill and reached for it. No one stopped her until she started coughing in great distress. What she thought was water was actually kerosene...Mother came running, picked up the now limp little girl, and took her outside where she pummelled her on the back, hoping desperately to bring life back to the seemingly lifeless child... So begins the story of Mari Klassen, a story of hopes, triumphs, and tragedies. A story that takes a reader from the staunch traditions and observances of the Old Colony Mennonite Church to the struggles of a married couple trying to have natural children. But above all, Mari's story is a story of faithfulnessGod's faithfulness--woven through every circumstance, both good and bad. This is a story where God's love prevails and His miraculous works are the light that shines through even the darkest of times.
