Married You

Set in a big city in Africa, covering only a few days of Walter and Ingrid’s life, the story develops in a surprising and suspenseful way. Through the struggles of the people they are trying to help, both find themselves facing unexpected challenges to their own marriage. Nothing in this book is fiction. All the stories have really happened. All of the conversations have really taken place. The people involved are still living today. The setting of these events is Africa, but the problems dealt with are relevant to all parts and to all cultures. Kindle Edition: Buy the eBook  |

The Story of a Strange Missionary Odyssey

Excerpt from the introduction by S. Hjalmar Swanson:The S. S. Zamzam left New York (Hoboken), March 20, 1941, for Suez, via Trinidad, Pernambuco, Capetown, and Mombasa. it was declared a neutral ship. Its passengers were chiefly missionaries bound for Africa. Twenty Protestant denominations as well as the Roman Catholic Church were represented among its passengers of missionaries. These missionaries were bound for thirteen different areas of provinces in Africa. Probably never before had a ship left our shores for the "Dark Continent" with such a host of Christian ambassadors. Excerpt from the epilogue byEleanor Danielson Anderson:The Zamzam story lives on! Beginning in 1991, fifty years after the Zamzam’s sinking, survivors and families have gathered for reunions six times. That list of survivors, with their storehouse of memories, has dwindled drastically with the passing of time. By the year 2008 only two of the known twenty-nine living survivors had been adults on the Zamzam. The story is still told at church and community programs, often accompanied by newspaper articles. Newer media include a website (www.Zamzamship.net), a DVD/video titled “Zamzam: A Missionary Odyssey”, and the book, Miracle at Sea by Eleanor Anderson (Quiet Waters Publications). The republishing of this 1941 book is another testimony to interest in the Zamzam story. Zamzam materials are now being preserved at the ELCA Archives in Elk Grove, IL; the Billy Graham Center Archives in Wheaton, IL; and the Joyner Library, East Carolina University, Greenville, NC. Several survivors keep collections, too. As Zamzam research continues, more is being learned about the Canadian survivors, the internment camps, the German officers and crew, the motives which prompted the sinking, the Egyptian crew and more. Indeed, the story goes on! |

M..., January 8 Sir, This letter comes to you in my place. I’m too ashamed to go to see you. Besides, I don’t have the money for the trip, because I’m no longer a teacher. I’ve been fired. Last Friday, I loved a girl--or, as you would put it, I committed adultery--at least that’s what the whites call it and the Church, too. But the girl wasn’t married, nor had any bride-price been paid for her. Consequently she didn’t belong to anyone and I don’t understand who it is that I have wronged. I myself am unwed and I have no intention of marrying the girl. I don’t even know her name. So, the way I see it, the commandment "You shall not commit adultery" does not apply in my case. That’s why I can’t understand why the Church deprives me of Communion by putting me under discipline for six months. One of my pupils told on me. And now I don’t know where to turn. Sir, you baptized me and taught me at school. You have counseled me often and know how I became a Christian. You know me even better than my own father does. I’m terribly sorry to disappoint you, but at the same time I tell you frankly, I don’t feel very guilty. I’m ashamed because of all the talk about it, but I’m still a Christian. I dare to tell you openly what I think even if you get angry. Aren’t the desires of my body supposed to be satisfied? Aren’t my sex organs given me to be used? Shouldn’t you take advantage of that which is available? Why is it a sin to use what God has made? Since everyone condemns me, I do not expect an answer. I will stop now. There’s nothing more to be said. Sincerely, Your unhappy François |
