The Marjorie Memoirs

About the Book

Marjorie Moyer as a child stood for her faith, winning over her sisters, mother and brothers. She taught school, went to college, married (becoming Marjorie Scism), became a pastor’s wife, then missionary to India. In all this she overcame amazing obstacles first of poverty, then of difficulty and opposition, through her faith, love and devotion to God, her family and the cause. Here she tells her straight-forward story of dedication in Colorado, Oregon, California, Washington, Idaho, India, Tennessee and retirement, supplying an example of inspiration and accomplishment.
