A short, concise, yet powerfully inspirational book, Community in the Face of Tragedy: Eleanor’s House takes readers on a journey of humanitarian care and practical living out of the gospel. In a world that can seem overwhelmingly unkind at times, this true story will rekindle hope and remind readers that we all have to take care of each other.

Ken Penner relates the true story of Eleanor, an older lady who lives alone in the Bulkley Valley in northwestern British Columbia. Tragically, a fire destroys her home, and the lack of insurance coverage and government aid threaten to leave her destitute. But when her compassionate neighbours decide to rise to Jesus Christ’s challenge to do unto others, miracles start to occur, and God’s provision proves to be astounding.

Those associated with Eleanor’s house will cherish this record of memories, and those who only meet her in its pages will be encouraged to step out in faith and bless their neighbours too. A wonderful testimony to the power and love of God working through His people!
