This book is the story of Prof. Hans Kasdorf's life, told in his own words. According to his friend, Prof. Elmer Martens, it is more than an autobiography; it is a generational marker. Martens continues: "The reader is immersed in cultures--Russia, Brazil, and North America. Insights from this educator and missiologist, along with pithy quotations, punctuate the volume. Anecdotes of God's providence and grace inspire. Here is engagement with a leader of spiritual stature whose faith and piety were forged on the anvil of difficulties. Here also is largely chronicled the history of a people and a denomination" (back cover).
