Thirty Years with the mountain people of Haiti
by Mildred Anderson
How, as a fifty-nine year-old woman, Bertha "Granny" Holdeman cast her lot with the mountain people of Haiti and suffered through drought and flood, hurricane and want, to help them find a better way. This compelling saga spans more than three decades to chronicle hurt and leanness, struggle and triumph. The mission Granny helped found at Fermathe in Haiti began on a plot blighted by voodoo curse. Today it ministers to countless people, providing help and hope.

Haitian prayers in Creole with English translations
- This is a prayer book, but it is unlike many others you may have seen. This book is unique, not only because each prayer is accompanied by a striking photograph, but because each prayer is an example of sincere, heartfelt communication with God. This is a book which teaches the essence of true prayer.
- These prayers, printed in the original Creole language with English translations, reflect the paradoxically childlike yet deep faith of a mountain people who have come to know God as a Friend acquainted with their culture and daily lives.
- These prayers are refreshing and heartwarming, sometimes almost humorous because of the homespun metaphors which are used.
- The photograph which accompanies each prayer tells a story by itself.

Hidden Meanings
Truth and Secret in Haiti's Creole Proverbs
by Wally Turnbull
For those who love Haiti and students of language and culture.
Featuring over 1200 entries in Creole and English, this is, to date, the most varied and accurate collection of the colorful proverbs that characterize Haiti and her people. Translating a Creole proverb into English requires a fluency of not only both languages, but also of culture, an idiom more difficult to learn than any offered in a grammar book.
