At eighteen, Anne Bradstreet left England for the New World in search of religious liberty. Despite many hardships, she became famous as America's first published poet. A devoted wife and mother, she was a woman of deep spiritual convictions, seeing the Christian life as a pilgrimage with a better world to come. Faith Cook shows how this woman lived 'not to set forth myself, but the glory of God'. Anne's writings reveal the biblical truths that shaped America's early laws and underpinned its society. Her humble dependence on God and her desire to live constantly in the light of a better world yet to come, 'whose builder and maker is God', provide a challenge to our frequently materialistic, earthbound outlook.
Faith Cook, born in China, is an English Christian author. She was brought up in China, in a Christian environment, with both her parents being involved heavily in the China Inland Mission work. She was quick to learn the works of the Lord in her parents' life and became a Christian.
She is best known for the books, Under the Scaffold and Troubled Journey Faith made a quick leap up the ratings in Christian ratings. "Troubled Journey", a book about her life and the troubles she had growing up, and how the Lord shaped her life is a real inspiration to young and old Christians alike.
