Zetta: The Girl Who Knew She Wanted To Be A Missionary Nurse, The Lady Who Was Wise And Witty To 101

By Vivian Johnson
Regular price $8.00

Zetta is a short biography of a lady who, after living in difficult circumstances in Central Africa and losing family members, her hearing, and her sight, blossomed in her eighties into an ever-learning, always-mentoring, fun-loving person. Zetta not only proved that there is life after eighty, but also that life can be fulfilling and useful to age 101. Zetta lived a life she felt God had wanted; at a very young age, she already knew she wanted to be a missionary nurse. After meeting her future husband, Lester, and falling in love, they left for Africa so they could serve those in need. Zetta survived her young son Jimmys unexpected death at the age of fifteen months and her oldest son Less death at the age of fifty, and she still only grew in faith and hope in all of her heartaches. This heartfelt story of one womans courageous and selfless lifestyle will remind us that God desires for us to help those in need.
