This volume of the Quarterly is dedicated to completing the republication of Marian Duncan Adam’s book, A Flame of Fire. This important look at a Disciples mission experience was self-published by Ms. Adams in 1999, but never received the attention and circulation it deserves. Its publication here in the LTQ intends to make this work available to a wider range of readers and researchers. The first half of the book appears in the previous volume of the Quarterly. We thank Ms. Adams and her granddaughter Ms. Karen Cantley for permission to have the book appear in the LTQ. We also thank Dr. Dianne Bazell for her work in securing this permission.
