Helen Roseveare: A Life in Her Own Words
Helen Roseveare, John Piper (Fwd)Hardback 2025-05-13
Publisher's Description:
All three volumes of Helen Roseveare’s autobiography combined for the first time, with a foreword by John & Noël Piper, and an introduction and afterword by Betsy Childs Howard.
Throughout her eight years in training for the mission field and her first twelve years in the Congo, Helen Roseveare had prayed that God would give her a mountain–top experience of his glory and power. God’s answers formed the basis of her best–selling autobiography, Give Me This Mountain.
However, after enduring civil war, brutal mistreatment, and having to rebuild work from scratch, and later while caring for her elderly mother, she realised that God’s work is also done in the valleys.
The third of her autobiographies, written after her mother passed away, emphasises her faithful, daily obedience, digging ditches as God led and trusting him to fill them with life–giving water in his time.
These three books are combined in one volume for the first time giving an overarching view of the amazing ways God used Helen’s life. Includes the books Give Me This Mountain, He Gave Us a Valley and Digging Ditches.
Endorsements:
… an amazing autobiography that I’d encourage any Christian to read. You’ll learn of Helen and her adventures for the Lord, but greater than that, you’ll see the beauty of Jesus in her life, even in the most difficult of circumstances.
Jonathan Carswell
I’ll never forget hearing Helen Roseveare speak: immediate authority; convincing clarity; relentless passion. Now her three classic works have been brought together for a new generation of readers. Prepare to be challenged, moved, and inspired!
Colin S. Smith, Senior Pastor, The Orchard, Arlington Heights, Illinois and President, Unlocking the Bible
Helen Roseveare sacrificed a great deal for the work of the Lord, but she gained everything. She lived and died clothed in the righteousness of Christ, and she testified to His goodness all the way to the end. … even now, her faith continues to speak to all who read her books.
Betsy Childs Howard, Editor, The Gospel Coalition
I’m delighted to see these Christian classics together in one volume. Helen Roseveare’s story is a frank and honest account of her time as a missionary in Africa and beyond. There is no other biography that covers the ups downs and heartaches of life better than Helen’s.
