David, the Psalmist, sang, "Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts." (Psalm 145:3-4, NIV) In this lively spiritual memoir, that is precisely what Marlene Kreidler has done. She commends God's works to the next generation and tells of God's mighty actions. As she recounts what has been, up to now, oral family history, Marlene offers a priceless gift to her family and others. The stories she records give glimpses of the loving heart of her Heavenly Father and of Jesus whom she most passionately wants the reader to meet. For the past 10+ years it has been my privilege to engage with Marlene and a group of Bible students regularly as we have prayerfully discussed the lives of "Bible Greats"-Ruth, David, Moses, Jacob, Paul, Abraham, Sarah, Jesus, and many others. In each weekly discussion Marlene consistently draws from her wealth of scripture study and personal experience with Jesus. Occasionally she will illustrate her point with some story from her own life, often from her childhood. In this highly readable little volume, Marlene brings those same warm qualities to the telling of her family's story. Read and enjoy. Read and be inspired. Read and praise God's greatness as Marlene commends to you the mighty works of God, from one generation to the next. Douglas Tilstra, Ph.D. Vice President for Student Life Walla Walla University
