The energy in words takes form and life in the hearts of readers that believe in them. I remember the first time I was told that I have a way with words. It lit a light in the darkest corners...

"Brother Phil" and his wife, Julie, were missionaries in Bangladesh for more than twenty years and later worked among Muslims...
