'Faith Cook's many devoted readers will certainly welcome Out of the Shadows, a collection of nine short and very diverse biographies. Many of the names will be unfamiliar, but their stories are full of interest and inspiration, each in its own way bearing witness to the faithfulness and goodness of the God whose love and mercy know no bounds. Not just education, but real encouragement, will be found in these pages.' William J. U. Philip, Minister, St George's-Tron Church, Glasgow
