From a Canoe to a Chevy Ralph J. Poulson

Reasons to read this book: Unusual stories from Brazil. Personal issues missionaries face on foreign soil. Each chapter is a complete story telling the happenings in Brazil the way they happened. How God introduced us to dear Brazilian friends. The stories of men and women who met Jesus Christ will thrill you. Spiritual lessons conclude each chapter. I have known Ralph and Margie Poulson from the time I was a child and have been enriched spiritually by the testimony of their ministries. This book, written in a humble, God-honoring way, takes the reader into the heart of missions. That is a good place to be. Laurel Hicks, Litt. D, editor, A Beka Book (retired) I've never encountered a book written by missionaries that was more informative, encouraging, and full of suspense. It was bits and pieces from Ralph & Margie Poulson's life in Brazil that I had heard, and their testimonies when they returned home, that encouraged me to join the mission field ten years ago. Helen Steele, Greek Bible College in Greece. Dr. Roy B. Zuck: These stories give an interesting picture of your life in Brazil. The chapters are well written. They gave me a new appreciation for your ministry. (Dr. Roy B. Zuck, senior professor emeritus of Bible Exposition and editor of Bibliotheca Sacra, Dallas Theological Seminary, died March 16, 2013. This endorsement is from the emails from him.) Ralph and Marjorie served with ABWE in Brazil for 25 years in the Amazon, and then Natal, directing the Berean Baptist Seminary.
