"May the reader remember that several of these stories were written during the occupation of France by Hitler," the author says in his introduction. "The gospel of the birth, the death, and the resurrection of Christ was the only valid answer to the diabolical horrors perpetrated by the princes of this world."

Trocme, as the Protestant pastor, his wife, Magda, along with many others, are credited with saving the lives of thousands of refugees, many of them Jewish children, by hiding them in the area. Nelly Trocme was a teenage during those treacherous days.

These tales, many based on biblical stories, include charming fantasy, colorful angels and animals, and a sense of surviving the dangers which surround all of us.

Among the stories are "The Angel Who Didn't Sing," "The Church Built with Snow," and "The Rebellion of the Animals."

Twelve- year-old Tommy Stafford and his sister, Celia, witness the violence and persecution brought on by the words and ways of Fox. His courage, calmness, and power with God influenced the whole family.

When a doctor wearing ragged clothing appeared at their gate, Michael thought he, too, must be a Hutterite. He learned later that this was the famed doctor, Paracelsus. When Michael's sister, Gudryn, became ill, this 'doctor in rags' was able to help her. Michael was impressed and began to plan when he could be a doctor.

And then tragedy struck the Bruhn household. They were arrested along with the Hutterites. Their land was taken by King Ferdinand. Michael was put into chains with the Hutterites to become a galley slave.

Through an exciting escape Michael found Paracelsus. He decided to become both a Hutterite and a missionary doctor all because of Paracelsus, a 'doctor in rags,' who helped people.
