Book excerpt: The cover of My Children or the Cross depicts a defining moment in the life of missionary mother Miriam Dunn... her angelic six year old daughter, Rosemary, about to set sail out of her life for an interval of four years. Standing on the wharf in Hong Kong, Rosemary cradles the doll she was given if she promised not to cry. Looming in the background is the Queen Mary, the ship that would carry this wee one to Alberta, Canada, for her education. How could God let this come about? Must Miriam and her husband Marvin entrust Rosemary to others while they pursue the spreading of the good news of Jesus? Our Savior, who takes an active interest in the intimate details of his people, gently reminds them: "He that loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of me."
