Practical Christianity

Harold Fickett has chosen six people from different tasks whom he believes best exhibit true Christian life and service, giving an overview of each with a more detailed narrative example of what each does. I was most impressed with the man who ministers to big-rig truck drivers, and with Miss Lauran Bethell, whose forte is rescuing prostitutes from slave-like work conditions. Miss Bethel and I worked near each other in the Thailand field of American Baptist missions, and I think Mr. Fickett portrays her very well. (She is now overseeing work similar to her "New Life" hostel, world-wide.) Fickett's concept of true worship through service is, in my opinion, far more Biblical than lifting one's hands in praise hymns in a megachurch congregation of five thousand people. Keith Dahlberg
