Synopsis

This book is the exciting true life story of Ellen Cremer Myers, the mother of Dr. Edwin Myers, the author of the CalcuLadders, ReadyWriter, and AlphaBetter.

Ellen Cremer lived an idyllic life in the 1920s high society of Berlin. Her father was a Secretary of the Treasury of the German Parliament, and her mother was a university professor.

But with Hitler's rise to power, life changed abruptly, since Ellen's mother was a Jew. Their family was forced to hide on a farm. All their Jewish relatives living in Europe were killed in the gas chambers.

While turmoil, tragedy, and death swirled around her, Ellen became a skilled linguist for a major German factory during World War II.

After the War, through an amazing series of providential circumstances, Ellen became the official interpreter for the American military government in Germany. In this capacity, she met her future husband, Lt. Col. Kenneth Myers.

Years after coming to the States with Ken, Ellen finally faced the claims of Jesus, the Messiah, and the fact of her own sin. Her life, transformed in an instant, took on new meaning, enabling her to draw blessing from further bereavement, and joy from fires of trial.

From My Self to My Savior shares the accounts which Ellen wrote over a period of twenty-five years, along with over fifty authentic photographs and documents!

This beautiful book is in paperback with a glossy cover, and is wonderful as reading pasttime or for a gift or even as assigned reading in homeschool history!
