Stone Pillows An American Christian Missionary in the Moslem Land of King Zog

ABOUT THIS BOOK""C. Telford Erickson is a heralded name in the history of the Albanian national reawakening of the early 20th Century. His life's work was first rooted in Christian missionary activity, but soon prompted him to engage in educational and cultural interventions which brought to light the needs of an oppressed people relatively unknown to European and United States diplomacy. He earned the confidence of presidents and bishops, kings and imams, who secured his counsel and relied on his judgment. ""Braunlich brings to the fore the fascinating life story of an erudite American who cared and made a difference. It is an invaluable resource for those who wish to understand the Balkans at a formative period of transition and its connections to the rise of Western interest in the region.""--Very Reverend Arthur E. Liolin, Chancellor, Albanian Orthodox Archdiocese in America""Congratulations on your noble effort to bring Dr. Erickson to life for the world to know, and especially to theAlbanians who owe so much to him. Dr. Erickson remains a beacon of light brought by American missionaries to faraway and oppressed countries, as Albania was in those dark days.""--Sami Repishti, PhD., Scholar, and human rights activistBraunlich, Phyllis Cole is the author of 'Stone Pillows An American Christian Missionary in the Moslem Land of King Zog', published 2003 under ISBN 9781413416374 and ISBN 1413416373.
