Reimer, Reg

On the Cruel Edges of the World A Memoir of Carrying Help and Hope into Dark Places in Dangerous Times Reg Reimer (Reginald Reimer) - U.S.A. Reg Reimer 2024 - 342tr. paperback, illustration 23cm

A missionary vocation set the stage for an extraordinary life of service for Reg Reimer. It required him to be by turns an evangelist, a professor, a first responder, a church planter, a chief executive, a writer, a development worker, a peacemaker, an advocate, and a spy! It took him into the suffering caused by the major man-made and natural disasters of our time—in the Vietnam War, the Cambodian and the Rwanda genocides, the African famines, the Great Asian Tsunami. There he partnered with the compassionate God in lifting up the destitute, the downtrodden and the persecuted, making their way “as best they could on the cruel edges of the world” (Heb. 11: 38 The Message). These experiences led him to reflect deeply on human evil and human suffering, alongside the goodness and mercy of God.
