by Jean Stone Willans
printed in the USA by Whitaker House, 1973, reprinted 1995
(aka "The Acts of the Green Apples")
Once upon a time, the Willanses were quiet, respectable suburbanites. But it just wasn't meant to be -- not after Mrs. Willans got acquainted with God and He catapulted them out of their quiet, suburban existence to send them around the world into some heart-warming, miracle-studded, and frankly hilarious adventures. There's one other thing we ought to mention: this story really happened. And if miracles can happen to the Willanses, they can even happen to you ...

Hello! I know this comment is a little late, compared to when you actually posted it! But I just found your blog this morning and wanted to thank you. I read this book a loonnnnngg looonngg time ago, really enjoyed it, and was thinking about it this morning. So nice to be able to read it again! Thanks for your hard work!
ReplyDeleteI have just read and am re-reading Green Apples. My copy is yellowed and old. I had to wonder about whether copies were still available, is there some ministry still alive as a result of the book, is the author and/or husband alive. This blog I found is last dated 2005 ! I have read the epilogue and Husbands Afterward and am amazed to discover the origins of their relationship was here in NH where I live ! By a rough calculation it seems Jean and Rick are likely no longer living , wouldn't they have to be nearing 100 ? Who carries on their work today? Very much interested in a ministry update please?

Yes Auntie Christie. The book is still available (at considerable cost) but just think of all the lovely stuff in there.
