Synopsis:

John Corey was an ordinary man who did extraordinary things because of a God-given vision and a stubborn will to see it through. This book is at times plain and simple, down-to-earth, while other times it soars up to heaven. It captures the heart and soul of old school missionaries who didn’t know the meaning of “short-term.” Crossing the Atlantic on a freighter, traveling in Africa from village to village on a mule, getting mail every 4-6 weeks, dealing with poisonous snakes and no running water or indoor bathroom. It’s a story of raising children who came to regard Africa as their home; a story of what missions once was that captures the heart of what missions will always be. John Corey’s was a life full of joys and sorrows. I was deeply moved by the account of his death, before which he spoke personally with and blessed every child and grandchild. In a time when we think too much about inheritances and too little about heritage, John and Jeanette Corey have left their family a remarkable heritage. Reunion awaits in a far better world. Read this book and learn the calling, costs, joys and ultimate rewards of missions, and of living with an eternal perspective. - Randy Alcorn, author of Heaven

About the Author: John Corey had the privilege of sharing his life story with Jim Morud. Jim traveled with John during three of his mission trips to Russia. He saw and heard and felt the impact of John’s life and ministry on the people he served there. And then when John was facing death, he interviewed him to keep his remarkable story from slipping untold into eternity. Jim lives with his wife, Linda, and four children in Warren, Oregon, where he continues to write more stories he has shaken from the bushes.
