About this book

It was the 1930s, when records and record players were new. Joy lay sick in bed, wishing to get back to Honduras, where she had been a missionary. But while she recovered, the bright idea came to her to record some gospel stories and songs in Spanish. After one record came more and more and more, in one language after another. The organization Joy founded, now called Global Recordings, has recorded gospel stories in over six thousand languages around the world.Written for children, but in a style that adults can enjoy too, Joy Ridderhof: Voice Catcher Around the World, is a missionary book that will introduce readers to a whole new world of missions: catching voices of remote tribal people speaking the words of the gospel in their own language.
