Doris Ruscoe was headmistress of the school for missionaries' children at the Bible College of Wales, founded by Rees Howells. Those familiar with Rees Howells from Norman Grubb's inspiring biography, The Intercession of Rees Howells,will appreciate Miss Ruscoe's riveting accounts of life in the college. Interspersed with her own recollections are Mr. Howells own words, painting a vivid picture of this Welsh coal miner whose name has come to be synonymous with the principle of intercession.

Mr. Grubb encouraged Miss Ruscoe to write this book, which she did in collaboration with Samuel Howells, Rees' son. In the foreword he says, "Doris Ruscoe shows in detail how the Holy Spirit led Rees Howells, from his new birth onwards to discover the principles of Intercession. She traces for us his earlier stages of learning and application, fascinating to those of us who by grace are being taken the same way. She leads us on to the great intercession of World War Two, the intercession for the gospel to get to 'every creature,' so marvelously being fulfilled before our eyes today."
