Inspiring story of triumph over darkness, Jun 28 2011
By Long Distance Runner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bringing Hidden Things to Light (Paperback)
"Bringing Hidden Things to Light" is Ms. Istomina's first-hand account of the revival of Methodism in Russia in the 1990's. But this is not merely a story about religion, this is a story of the victory of a radiant human spirit over the darkness and hopelessness of the communist regime. This young woman engineer found a purpose in life that was much larger than she had ever imagined for herself, and rose to meet the challenge with new-found passion and commitment.
A favorite excerpt is where she found courage to enlist the help of the then-First Lady of Russia, Naina Yeltsin, to supply a massive transport plane to airlift many tons of food and medicine from her new friends in the US to meet the needs of needy Russian widows and children. Then like David squaring off against Goliath, Ms. Istomina stood against the twin evils of the Russian Mafia and the KGB to fulfill a mission of hope for hungry Russian hearts and bellies. Lydia's story will bring more than a few tears to your eyes, and might even inspire you to courage to do something in your world that is beyond your imagination.
