Our world is in desperate need of authentic and selfless role models. We need genuine and living illustrations in flesh and blood, men and women of biblical faith and Christ-like service, examples we can follow. Such present-day heroes and heroines inspire us to do better service for Christ, dig deeper in our study of God's Word, stand taller in our witness for the Savior, and climb higher in the realms of faith. 
This biography of Dr. Bill Woods gives us such a role model. Born, reared, and educated in Belfast, Bill went to Brazil's Amazon as a missionary, became overwhelmed with the suffering of thousands and dedicated his life to relieve that suffering. En route to reaching his goals, Bill also suffered and paid a great price of loneliness, which his dedication demanded. His work has been acclaimed by medical and civil authorities in the Americas and the United Kingdom.

The God We Can Know

The Carolina regions of the United States of America were settled in large numbers during the 18th century by tens of thousands of Ulster-Scots Presbyterians, who left their native shores for reasons of religious persecution and economic deprivation.  In this third volume of the series on the hardy Scots-Irish communities who tamed the wilderness of the American frontier, journalist-author Billy Kennedy heads on a journey from the north of Ireland to the port of Charleston, South Carolina and the Carolina Piedmont, along the Great Wagon Road from Pennsylvania, through the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, into the western highlands of North Carolina and down to the historic Waxhaws, where President Andrew Jackson spent his childhood and early youth.  On this trail of the Scots-Irish in the Carolinas, five American Presidents emerge as direct descendants of the first frontier Carolina settlers.  Also, John C. Calhoun, American Vice President for two terms, was the son of an Ulsterman who settled in the Carolina upcountry and literally hauled himself up by his bootlaces from a log cabin to a position as one of the nation's most influential policy makers.  The culture, political heritage, and legacy of the Scots-Irish so richly adorn the historical fabric of American life.  Through this series on the Scots-Irish, people on both sides of the Atlantic may develop an awareness of our illustrious past which will assist them in facing the future with renewed insight and wisdom.  The contributions of the Scots-Irish to the building of the great American nation were profound and deserve our full recognition.
