Joy Dawson Boeken

With personal examples and biblical truths, Dawson invites readers on a fascinating adventure into a place of intimate friendship with almighty God. This edition includes fresh illustrations and a foreword from Jack Hayford.

Focusing on the complexities of healing, Joy Dawson offers a thoughtful exploration of why some individuals experience healing while others do not. Drawing from her extensive global teaching experience, she challenges simplistic interpretations of Scripture with a balanced perspective on the subject. The book combines personal anecdotes with a rigorous examination of biblical texts, addressing difficult questions about illness and healing. Dawson's insights aim to provide clarity for those seeking deeper understanding beyond isolated verses.

The author shares her inspiring journey as a missionary and prophetic Bible teacher, overcoming significant challenges rooted in her conservative upbringing. Growing up in a denomination that restricted women's roles in church, she defied expectations to teach and lead in 55 nations. Her story highlights resilience, faith, and the transformative power of following one's calling despite societal and familial constraints.

Set against the backdrop of a Missouri farm, two young brothers, Frank and Rudy, navigate the challenges of life after a family loss while cherishing moments of joy through fishing and swimming. Their routine takes a delightful turn when their father reveals an exciting opportunity: a trip to the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, promising adventure and new experiences amidst their hard work.

John Raymond Dawson joined the Royal Navy in Leeds, his home town, in December 1940 aged 19, with his best friend Norman Brooks. He served until early 1946, which was when he wrote up his diary setting out his experiences during the War. His son promised him in 1985 that one day he would write this up for publication. John agreed but only if this was after his death. Sadly this came too soon in the following year when he was aged just 64. In 1999, letters John had written during the War to his elder sister Eileen were found in her attic when she was moving. This provided more valuable material to work on. He has written An Ordinary Signalman since he retired in 2006.
