Art Wiens served in Italy during the Second World War. Afterwards he studied at Wheaton College and became the leader of a group that met together to pray for those interested in missionary service - a fellow prayer group member was Jim Elliot. The two soon became fervent prayer warriors to call students to missionary work all over the world. Art's records show that over 500 Wheaton students answered that call.
Art, and his wife Erma, returned to Italy themselves as missionaries. They have devoted the last 50 years to spreading the gospel in that forgotten mission field. Their children though college educated in America, have also experienced the attraction of the country and have returned to Italy to live. The Wiens love Italy.
This book will take you into the inner workings of gospel work in Italy, where many people reject the gospel without having understood its message, and where many have never even seen or handled a Bible

'Italy is one of the most neglected mission fields in all Europe. Art Wiens has had a lifetime of service there and he is one of my heroes.'
George Verwer
Founder and Former International Director, Operation Mobilisation, Kent, England
A good book for all to see what is involved in being a missionary and especially for young people who are considering whether they are called to this life. It leaves one wondering why we haven't done more for Italy during these decades.
"Art Wiens is one of the most persevering missionaries I have ever known. This book will open your eyes to Italy's darkness, and tells theremarkable story of Art and Erma Wiens' faithful and effective."
'Art and Erma Wiens, Christ's ambassadors in Italy, were the true prototype of those who have led the way in missionary work in Europe... will help in the understanding of the challenge of Europe as a mission field.'
