| For Everything a Season is an informal history of the
birth of the General Conference (Canada and the US) structure, the
ministries that were carried out under its umbrella and the ways God
used these ministries and his people to further his kingdom. The
demise of the General Conference in the summer of 2002 as an active
entity became the impetus for this book of reflections, thanksgiving
and challenge. The fourteen essays look at the early beginnings, the
migration from Russia to the US and Canada, music in the churches,
publishing, mission efforts, educational endeavors, and how the church
is positioning itself for the future. A coffee table type book,
many black and white pictures help to tell the story. Copyright

Related Items About Mennonites
| At the heart of the Mennonite Brethren name is this simple
core: we are family. We are, or we aim to be, God's family.
Getting to know a family well involves the discovery of its
particular and current traits, and it also involves studying its
background. The first task identifies those characteristics and views
that we might call the family's particular "ethos," and identifies its
passion and resources. The second offers some explanation of why
things are the way they are. -from the Introduction Discover:
why Mennonite Brethren are know as "people of the book;" how we work
together in higher education, Christian education, world missions and
publishing; what our stance is on peacemaking; and what it means to be a
family of faith. Read stories of growth in Canada, the United
States, the International MB Family and in our inter-Mennonite
connections. Meet people who serve and are served. Read about our
challenge for the future and it's perspective. Above all, welcome to
this family! And enjoy the discovery. Copyright 2002. | |

| Design of My Journey recounts the life story of Hans Kasdorf's birth in Slavgorod Siberia, the family's flight to Moscow in 1929, their fortune in being one of the families permitted to go to Germany and eventually to resettle in Brazil. Geographical and historical details far beyond the familial story place the story in its larger context. The account of life in the Krauel region of Brazil provides fascinating details about the Mennonite pioneering years. Subsequently educated in Canada, United States and South Africa Kasdorf worked as a linguist, language professor and missiologist with Mennonite Brethren institutions and agencies. He spent most of the decade since his retirement working with Russian Aussiedler in Germany. Kasdorf has lived in the Mennonite worlds of the Soviet Union, South America, North America and Europe. Here are fascinating descriptions of each part of this rich and diverse tapestry Copyright 2005 Center for Mennonite Brethren Studies | |
