The Axe and the Tree, One Young Couple's Costly Investment in Zimbabwe by Stephen Griffiths and published by Monarch Books.
A powerful account of British missionaries, Peter and Brenda Griffiths, who played a critical role in the development of the Elim church in the aftermath of the Vumba massacre.
Peter and Brenda Griffiths, Stephen's parents, and their team had set up a superb secondary school, only for guerrillas to slaughter almost all the staff. After their funerals Peter maintained that forgiveness for the attackers was the Christian thing to do.
This is an inspiring story of Peter and Brenda's courage, sacrifice and faithfulness in God, who despite the atrocities, continues to build His church in Zimbabwe.
