In Such Bounty , Myra Scovel offers a collection of deeply felt poems written during nearly three decades as a missionary in China, America, and India. With grace and insight, she reflects on faith, nature, family, and cross-cultural experiences through times of war, political upheaval, and personal challenge. From meditations on the beauty of God's creation to poignant observations of life under Japanese and Communist rule in China, Scovel's verses reveal a keen eye and compassionate spirit. Her words capture moments of transcendence amidst daily missionary life as well as broader reflections on sacrifice, prayer, and walking humbly with God. Infused with quiet wisdom and lyrical imagery, these poems provide a window into one woman's spiritual journey across continents and cultures. Such Bounty is a testament to finding grace, meaning and wonder even in difficult circumstances.
