Eleanor Newton
One of the first women to work with Frank Buchman in the 1920s.
What does a life of faith mean in practice? Eleanor Forde Newton (Ellie) was 19 when she asked Christ into her life. 'I knew I had done something irrevocable,' she writes. While many search for meaning in life, others can feel that life has passed them by. Mrs Newton grew up as a child in Montreal, Canada; became a secretary in the 1920s New York; worked with Frank Buchman as a Christian worker in North America, Europe, and South Africa; and then became a wife and businesswoman. When a child, she couldn't decide whether to be a circus girl or a missionary. Now she has found that in an unforgiving world there is adventure in asking God to use her wherever she is.
