The Promise Is to You

J. Edwin Orr

This is the third of Orr’s series of “travel books.” It’s the remarkable story of how he toured and ministered all the way to the Holy Land and back, trusting God to both provide his needs and give him ministry opportunities. In 1935 air travel was still new and out of reach for most travelers, but God wonderfully supplied the first leg of Edwin Orr’s journey on an airplane (“aeroplane”) – he flew from England to France with five shillings in his pocket, and he saw God supply all his needs. That’s why there is an airplane on the cover of this book.
