NO OF PAGES: 214 SUB CAT I: Biography SUB CAT II: Holy Spirit SUB CAT III: Jerusalem DESCRIPTION: What was Lydia's appointment in Jerusalem? An appointment to be at a certain place at a certain time...at God's direction. An appointment that meant leaving money, position, profession, and friends to live on pennies a day in dangerous service to strangers. An appointment to rescue scores of abandoned Jewish and Arab children from disease and death. An appointment to be part of the violent birth pangs of modern Israel.NOTES: Donated by Mike Merryman. SUBTITLE: The Spellbinding Story of a School Teacher Who Dared to be Led by the Holy Spirit
Getuigenisliteratuur, waarin de schrijver de ervaringen beschrijft van zijn Deense vrouw die zich in 1927 liet (weder-)dopen tot lid van de Pinkstergemeente. Ervan overtuigd dat God een speciale taak voor haar heeft, vertrekt zij naar het moeilijk bereikbare en politiek roerige Jeruzalem. Op al haar (schier onoplosbare) problemen komt, na indringend gebed, een pasklare oplossing. In het slothoofdstuk geeft de schrijver zijn visie op de toekomst van Jeruzalem en de wereld: deze is uitsluitend acceptabel voor gelijkgezinden. Een ongewoon boek: eenvoudig geschreven, moeilijk invoelbaar, toch boeiend. Uitstekende beschrijving van gevoelens, mensen en omgeving. Zeer kleine letter, smalle marge. (NBD|Biblion recensie, M.G. v. Mourik)

Back in Korsor after spending Christmas her family in Bonderslev, she decided to spend her vacation reading. Ignoring the literary choices on her bookshelf, she pulled out the Bible. She began to read in Matthew and soon found herself transfixed as the book came alive to her.
When she got to the beatitudes she read Jesus' words: "Ask and it shall be given you." Could she ask about the unnamed longing she had been feeling? How did one do that? Should she kneel" Pray aloud? Then:
Everything changed for Lydia after that. She began to study her Bible seriously and spend lots of time in prayer. She asked for believer's baptism—a scandalous thing to do in Denmark's staunch Lutheran culture. She attended meetings with the suspect Pentecostals. And she had more visions.
Appointment in Jerusalem is the account of the several years in Lydia's life when she went from a secure job as a Danish teacher to doing whatever she sensed God was telling her to do in Jerusalem. There she had a remarkable ministry, especially to abandoned girls, many of whom she adopted.
She later met and married Derek Prince, author and Bible teacher. He wrote Lydia's story with her input. Written in creative non-fiction style this fascinating biography is sure to encourage and challenge readers of any age. Its clear message of love for Jerusalem and the Jewish people is a welcome one in these days Middle East conflict.
