Nearly 175 years ago, Mary Armstrong took her tiny girl into her arms for the first time and dreamed, as all new mothers do, “Little one, what does the future hold for you?” Neither mother nor daughter could have imagined that this tiny child would become a famous name in one of the world’s largest denominations. Annie Walker Armstrong would impact the future of missions for centuries to come. The amazing Annie was a pioneer missions force, and her legacy resonates clearly over a hundred and fifty years later.
Annie Armstrong’s Amazing Adventures is the newest member of the missions series written for youth, and the young of heart, from 15 to 95. The collection includes Lottie Moon and the Silent Bell, and Bells and Tales. Annie’s story never grows old. You will delve into her childhood and get a sense of what made her into the leader she became. Annie was no cookie-cutter young woman. In a day when women were admired for being lady-like and agreeable, Annie never failed to speak her mind. Sometimes it got her in trouble. Sometimes she used her skills and creative talent to blaze totally new trails.
Come take a new look at a lady who has become a household word among Baptists and with anyone who loves the cause of missions. She and the legendary Lottie Moon lived 10,000 miles apart but they became a matchless duo that has impacted the world for Christ.
