Living Sacrifice

Description

From 1953 to 1973 Dr Helen Roseveare served as a medical missionary with the Worldwide Evangelization Crusade in the Congo, spending 5 months in captivity during the rebellion in 1964. ‘The first major cost,’ she writes, ‘that I encountered in seeking to love God with all my heart was in the giving up of my pride – pride of nationality, pride of education, pride of natural abilities…they get in the way of love, real out-going love.’ Here she shares how, ostensibly helping others to an understanding of the love of God, she found her own faith profoundly challenged and deepened, learning how to offer herself as a living sacrifice.
