God, but served Him devotedly. Which of them was right? So
Silvia decided to find out for herself if God was real. She asked Him
for three things - a pair of shoes, a sweater, and a coat. For a large,
poor, Christian family in communist Romania, these things were almost
impossible to buy. How could she expect a miracle? Read
Silvia's story, and you will find yourself challenged by the faith and
dedication of Christians behind the Iron Curtain.God Knows My Size was written by Harvey Yoder. Copyright 1999 by TGS International- a wholly owned subsidiary of Christian Aid Ministries in Berlin, Ohio.
