    PATRICIA ST. JOHN (1919-1993) was a nurse, missionary and author. She earned a nursing degree at St. Thomas’ Hospital in London in 1946. In the early 1950’s she moved to Tangier, Morocco where she served as a missionary nurse for 27 years. Throughout her life, she travelled extensively in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, as the settings of her stories reflect. In 1977, she returned to England, where she cared for elderly relatives and ministered from her home to youths, single parents, and the elderly. Patricia authored numerous God-honoring stories for children that are, perhaps, her most lasting legacy. Her books have become modern beloved classics.

    Titles include:


    Star of Light

    The man watched Kinza as a snake might watch a baby rabbit at play, waiting for the moment to strike. And for one breathless moment Hamid was sure that he would reach out and snatch her away. Hamid does not want his little blind sister, Kinza, to be sold to a beggar by their stepfather, so he decides to rescue her. Together they escape from their mountain village to a town where there may be a new home for Kinza. But this is only the start of their adventures.


    Treasures of the Snow

    In a quaint village high in the Swiss Alps, Annette lives in a chalet with her little brother, Dani. Their Christmases are snowy and peaceful, full of gingerbread and good friends. In the summer, they cut hay for the cows whose milk is highly prized. But all isn't perfect in Annette's village. When an accident befalls Dani and he is badly hurt, only a dangerous crossing of a mountain pass can get him to a doctor's care. Annette is forced to confront her feelings toward the mean boy responsible for the accident. Can God's forgiveness come to this Alpine hamlet and restore the broken relationships?

    Three Go Searching

    Everyone knows a person like Waffi—mischievous, willful, and having a knack for getting others into trouble. David, whose father is a missionary doctor in Africa, is Waffi's friend. Although Waffi occasionally gets David into some difficult situations, David is learning to be a witness for God. When Waffi and David find a sick servant girl and a mysterious boat, an exciting adventure begins for them.

Meanness and fighting flow from his life. But when Francis's mum is sent away to recover her health, Francis goes to live with a Christian family. Things begin to change --- but can it be true that "God is Love?"  When Francis discover a bubbling wellspring nearby, he learns that if a spring is fouled, it can never be the river of life that God intends.
