Inhaltsangabe

A writer begins the task of composing a memoir by remembering carefully. In Embracing Life: A Simple Trust, Barbara Van Brunt casts her eyes through decades of family interactions, more than fifty years of Salvation Army ministry, and dozens of friendships, carefully remembering the joys and sorrows of birthing five children, serving in over a dozen ministry appointments, and fully embracing the adventure of life. While writing to preserve her life stories for her children and grandchildren, these pages also capture the essence of a life lived in commitment to Christ. The reader is invited to laugh and to weep, and to marvel at what God can accomplish through a life dedicated to his service.


Born in Niagara Falls, New York, Barbara Van Brunt met The Salvation Army as a young girl. Thus began a journey that would bring her to faith in Christ, a commitment to service to others, marriage to Fred, and the ensuing partnership embracing parenthood and full-time ministry. Hand in hand with her husband, Barbara has served in Salvation Army centers in Pennsylvania, and in youth and administrative positions from Maine to Ohio. Now in retirement, she and Fred have been pastoral care officers, and continue to come alongside family, friends and strangers as they faithfully fulfill their calling to service.
