About This Book
WEAPONS OF PEACE is set in South Africa in the period 1800-1852. Based on the lives of William and Johanna Anderson, it is a thrilling story of adventure, trial, romance, tragedy and faith. William, one of the earliest missionaries sent out by the London Missionary Society, has been described as a true friend and champion of the indigenous peoples of South Africa. “Splendidly researched and sensitively scripted… I commend to one and all this tender but telling and triumphant tale of adventure and high achievement for our Lord Jesus Christ.” – Dr Michael Cassidy, African Enterprise, South Africa. “The seasons of life and ministry lie exposed within these pages: conflict, revival, failure, fruitfulness, suffering, and sin. And then we discover two people inhabiting those seasons with a stubborn commitment to dignity, reconciliation, and peace… a story of realism and tenderness with a resonance in our times and cultures.” – Dr Paul Windsor, Director of Langham Preaching & Former Principal of Carey Baptist College, Auckland, New Zealand. Copies available from the author. Writer: Peter Anderson
