Other Side of the River (In Search of Freedom) (Volume 1)By Janice L. DickDescription:On 16 December, 1930, the village of Shumanovka packed into horse-drawn sleds and crossed the frozen Amur River in search of freedom in China. 217 people. 60 wagons. The temperature plummeted to -50 Fahrenheit. The sky was clear and sound carried for miles. The Russian Mennonites had no idea if their flight would be successful or if this was a ticket to their deaths. Other Side of the River is the fictionalized version of this story. Book Takeaway:God's faithfulness is sure no matter our circumstances. Why the author wrote this book:It's based around a true story that needed to be told, and I understand best in story form. |
