Product Description
This is the story of Henry B. Garlock's missionary adventures in Africa in the 1920s and 30s. It includes riveting true stories of resurrections, healings, visions, escape from cannibals and even an instance where Henry was bodily transported across a raging river (similar to the experience of Philip in the Book of Acts). Henry Garlock and his wife, Ruth, continued to direct missionary work in Africa even after they returned to the States, crisscrossing the continent and following up on their earlier missionary work. In this Servant Publications' edition, daughter-in-law Ruthanne Garlock has added valuable information to the original book as well as 24 original photographs.

Before We Kill You And Eat You April 17, 2008
Kerry A. Olson (Mexico City, Mexico)
Excellent book! Like reading another chapter in the book of Acts. Your faith cannot but increase after reading this book on the life and adventures of H.B. Garlock in Africa. As Hudson Taylor said, "Unless there is an element of risk in our exploits for God, there is no need for faith!"
Great Book!!! August 9, 2007

Garlock's accounts of the events he witnessed as a missionary in Africa in the 20th century serve as an insider's preface for the mass Christianization that swept Africa later in the century. The events that unfolded before him over his years in the African bush are recorded humbly and with a sense of reverance for both the people of Africa and God.
The events that occur are expertly told as to leave the reader hanging on every word and unable to put the book down. At a few points, the book becomes so intense that I was able to feel my blood pressure raising and haor stand on end. The fact that this a non-fiction book makes it even more intense for the reader. I give this book my highest rating.
This is a great book for newcomers to the faith, missionaries, aspiring missionaries and those just desiring too have their faith strengthened and read a testimony that could inspire anyone to live a life of action and service.
an excellent read May 12, 2007

The story of the Garlock's life in Africa is amazing . In it we see how God showed up so powerfully in their lives as they lived in obedience to Him. Their courage is such a testament to their faith.
