Editorial Reviews

 

Esther Epp-Tiessen has written an engaging, candid, and comprehensive account of MCC Canada, commissioned by the Mennonite Historical Society of Canada to be the centerpiece of the agency’s fiftieth anniversary in 2013. With eloquence and precision, she weaves together the strands of a complex history involving a myriad of Mennonite and Brethren in Christ groups, all with the deep concern for the well-being of sisters and brothers around the world. - John E. Sharp, review in Direction

 

A great strength of Epp-Tiessen’s history, and an important reason for both development historians and Mennonites to read it, is the consistent and organic inclusion of women in the organizational story. - Ruth Rempel, Mennonite Quarterly Review
