What if you asked God to find you a telephone-and He sends a hairy baby elephant? Have you ever thought that a friend's angry words could save a life? How about a lazy old dog? a small fish nibbling on toes? And don't forget the ugliest coat on earth. Falling into a bear trap-on top of the bear. Being chased by a hungry crocodile. Tumbling headfirst into a barrelful of icy water. Stepping on a snake in the dark. Plunging 275 feet down a 16-inch pipe. Living with four family members for two and a half years in a trench five feet wide, seven feet long, and just 20 inches deep.

These stories will remind you that even in the worst situations, we can depend on God for help. After all, He's leading the greatest rescue mission in history!
