Description
*Condition Note: Book is new and in wrapping.*
Six-year-old Arthur didn't know that accepting a piece of candy from a saloonkeeper could change the course of history. Neither did the saloon proprietor. Nevertheless, it would not be long before saloons throughout the Midwest felt the wrath of Arthur's mother, Sarepta Myrenda Irish Henry, and one by one closed their doors forever.
Best known in the Seventh-day Adventist Church as the founder of women's ministries, S.M.I. Henry never planned to be a leader or to change the world. A wispy young widow with fragile health, Mrs. Henry wanted only to raise her three small children and share her love for God in her little corner of the globe. When the horrors of the liquor trade caught her attention, however, S.M.I. Henry became a formidable advocate for the temperance movement and eventually for the cause of organizing women within the Adventist church.
Whirlwind of the Lord is Sarepta Myrenda Irish Henry's story, a true story of a remarkable woman whose life touched countless thousand of people, not in influence only, but in personal contact and soul-saving work. Her story is a testimony of one who pioneered in the organization of one of the greatest forces for good in our nation. With God at her side, S.M.I. Henry changed the world.
