Keep the Faith by Candy Harper7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() Only Isobel and one other student raised their hands. In one of her first classes, her professor asked if anyone believed in heaven and hell, in Genesis, etc. She had been raised in a Christian home in Toronto, Canada, and when she went off to a secular college, her parents took care to drill her in arguments against modernism and other affronts to truth that she would encounter there. ![]() ![]() In By Searching she shares how she came to know the Lord. I feel the same, but by presenting her story I’m ultimately promoting His grace and work. She herself would probably be loathe to read that sentence, as she wouldn’t want her name to be promoted, but rather the God who worked in and through her. ![]() Her name is well-known in some areas but not as well known, perhaps, as some of the house-hold names of classic missionary biographies, so I want to keep her story before people. But I always enjoy reading them again, going over what’s familiar and being reminded of what I’d forgotten. I’ve read her books By Searching: My Journey Through Doubt Into Faith and In the Arena (as well as her others) several times and know some parts of her story as well as my own. I first heard of Isobel Kuhn either in college or in the church where we were members when we first married, where there was an emphasis on reading missionary biographies. ![]()
