Synopsis
As a small child, I embraced Archangel Michael, his truth, and his place in my heart. As with most children, I gave up my truth for the perceptions of family and society. This is my story of Michael's reemergence into my life and the obstacles I had to overcome to again embrace that which had been left behind.My truth is that I communicate with angels and spirits through the guidance of Archangel Michael. Each of us has a truth within ourselves, in many cases deeply hidden yearning to be released. This truth expresses itself differently for everyone. For some, their truth may be expressed through their childhood desires to become a doctor, teacher, singer, counselor, engineer or homemaker. It is up to us to uncover and align with our own hearts desire. This hidden, or buried truth is our True Self. At some point in our lives, we have allowed the judgments of society, family and ultimately ourselves to stop us from authentically expressing "who we are." My intention in writing this book is to give people the encouragement to go beyond their own judgments, as well as the judgments of others, to again embrace their own True Self and live a greater experience of life.Lynn Ferguson., Written as a narrative, this is a true story of this period in history when thousands in the Ukraine and Crimea were forced to escape from Stalin's Russia. The author tells it like it was, exposing the myth and propaganda used to cover up what really happened to Lise and her Mennonite Brethren family. The book is full of the life of the times, the inescapable resolution to survive and a passion for freedom. It is told entirely through the lives and actions of the people of Tchongraw, Crimea and Lise Huebert Toews Gerig who escaped in their midst. It employs daily journals from 1917 to 1945 and Lise's words about her spellbinding childhood. Lise's father, Nikolai, urges his pregnant wife to flee Russia, promising that he will find her. One hundred and seventy people of Tchongraw refuse to leave anyone behind and march through the Ukraine singing forbidden hymns. Events are detailed as they affect individual members of Lise's people whose personalities, and the cultures that surround them, bring home the reality of their struggle. Johann is a mystery, Nick Enns walks out of Siberia to hold Mariechen in his arms. Justina defies Stalin's officers. Heroic Elizabeth Koop Huebert empowers her husband's people and places herself in peril to help her children out of Russia. Lise tells us, "Love is all we had, Walter and I. We found each other again in time to say good-bye." Lise becomes a photographer of note in Canada after she is able to emigrate. Her story enriches the literature of these ethnic-German people whose ancestors were among the first Mennonite Brethren of Holland. Publication of this book awaited the freeing of a cousin who was granted Asylum in 1998. I Heard My People Cry has received an award and has been well reviewed. Writer's Digest Certificate of Merit - 2001 Self Published Book Awards I Heard My People Cry, One Family's Escape From Russia Nonfiction: What impressed me most about this book? The heart-felt emotions that come through in the writing. The section describing how the father is taken away, the prison visits, the final departure, were just riveting and so incredibly sad. I doubt anyone could read this without weeping. The time span the book covers is also impressive, detailing the first half of the 20th century in Russia and Europe, touching on the overall political situation while also looking at the very personal stories of a family being pulled along by the tidal wave of history unfolding around it. The photos and maps add wonderfully to the story, bringing faces to the characters and perspective to the places discussed. This is truly an epic work, congratulations. REVIEWS Independent Review EASTERN MENNONITE UNIVERSITY Menno Simons Historical Library July 30, 2003 Floyd L. Downs, Vice President Lenci Studios, Inc. P.O. Box 19206 Fountain Hills, AZ 85269-9206 Dear Mr. Downs; Thank you very much for your letter and the review copy of I Heard My People Cry by Elizabeth Lenci-Downs. We are delighted to add this important book to our library and sincerely appreciate your generosity. Elizabeth's book is a wonderful record of moving, significant experiences of persecuted but courageous persons. It is one more account of a Mennonite family's escape from Stalin's Russia during a time of great hardship. A story rich with human pathos, this compelling book reads like a novel and is very hard to put down. I Heard My People Cry is well organized, providing good historical background and context. The fine collection of varied photographs, the glossary and the appendix add much to the interest and usefulness of the volume. The front cover has a scene that arrests the reader's attention. I am truly impressed by this book. Elizabeth Lenci-Downs is to be congratulated on an outstanding piece of work. Again, thank you for your gift. Best wishes. Sincerely yours, Lois B. Bowman

I'd like to point out that it was also shipped promptly, arrived on time, but the local post office refused to send me any notification of it arriving. Therefore I only got it today, almost a month late. The seller is at no fault, they shipped it on time. So I am highly satisfied with my purchase and the seller, highly recommend them for anyone on Ebay. Great books at great prices, amazing experience.
