Throughout her eight years in training for the mission field, and her first twelve years in the Congo, Helen Roseveare had prayed that God would give her a mountain top experience of his glory and power. God's answers formed the basis of her best-selling autobiography Give me this Mountain.<BR><BR>Helen also endured civil war, a brutal rape and found herself having to re-start her work from the very beginning. During these experiences, and later when caring for her elderly mother, she realised that God's work is also done in the valleys.<BR><BR>God gives us the valleys and we are to dig the ditches (2 Kings 3: 16), trusting that they will be filled with life-giving water at the appropriate time.<BR><BR>If you have ever experienced times when God's call on your life seems remote, or you are encountering trials and problems, you will find refreshment from Helen's pen. She shows how `trusting in the Lord' can be a gritty, rewarding drama rather than a wispy platitude.
