Product Description

Edited from nearly 300 preserved letters and documents in the Means family collection, written between 1917 and 1997, this work traces more than a family history. Interspersed with nearly 100 original photographs, it pays tribute to the dedicated mission and education efforts of the Reverend Paul Banwell Means and his wife, Nathalie. It also outlines the dramatic historical and political changes taking place in India and Southeast Asia, with Paul and Nathalie's first-hand accounts reinforcing their significance. Of some interest is Paul's theological research in Nazi Germany during the 1930s, and its impact upon his own views regarding relations between church and state. A timeline and bibliography is provided, as well as a comprehensive index.

About The Author

See the blurb on the back cover. My earlier experience as an editor and historical research into early literature served me well in the writing of Beyond Words. My present life in Minnesota has inspired a series of fiction and non-fiction works. My first adult historical novel, The Long Journey Home, was inspired by genealogical research into Gordon's other family, the Toms and Jubenvilles of Todd County. Its sequel, Whispers Through the House, will be out in June 2011. Two young adult novels appeared in 2010, Wagon Trail to Nowhere and Runes Beyond the Edge, with a sequel to Wagon scheduled for fall, 2011. Active in writers' circles and offering workshops and lectures to various organizations, I am continually motivated by the imagery and history of the mid-west prairies.
