Items related to In the Hollow of His Hand
The story of two ordinary people who answered God's call to a foreign land and witnessed extraordinary acts of the God who had called them. Larry and Doris Puckett went out, not knowing where they were going. By faith they sojourned in the land of promise as in a foreign country. Their land of promise was Mexico, and the unknown place became intimately known as they committed their lives to sowing gospel seeds in the hearts of the Totonac Indians. The multitude of souls harvested there will be part of their eternal inheritance, as they give glory and praise to Jesus throughout eternity.

About the Author:
Doris (Kinzie) Puckett grew up in the small coal region town of Ashland, Pennsylvania. She felt God's call upon her life at the age of 16 when she gave her heart to the Lord. After high school, she enrolled in the Philadelphia Bible Institute where she met and fell in love with Larry Puckett, a young man from Tennessee who shared her deep devotion to Christ. At the Bible Institute, both Doris and Larry felt God's call to the remote Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico to take the gospel to the Totonac Indians who had lived for centuries in superstitious fear, under the bondage of witchcraft and poverty. This is Doris' account of their amazing years in the protective hollow of God's hand. It is a remarkable story of more than forty years spent on the mission field, enduring incredible hardships, overcoming impossible obstacles, witnessing astonishing miracles and experiencing God's faithful protection and peace in the dangerous difficult place they came to love as home.
Review:
This book exalts the sovereignty of God in the lives of believers and it magnifies the love of God in the hearts of those who keep on believing. Larry and Doris are the kind of people who exemplify this life of faith. Through these pages, you will see and feel the burden of the missionary, and you will experience the intervention of God in their midst. Your faith will be challenged to a higher level, your confidence in the sufficiency of the Lord Jesus will be deepened, and your admiration for people who pay the price to serve with such devotion will soar. It has been my privilege to be pastor of a support church for Larry and Doris during their years on the field, and then their pastor in their retirement years. It is no surprise that God has chosen Doris to author this book. It is every bit truth with God's hand on every word. I am honored to have been asked to write these few words. Read the book and be blessed. --George H. Harris, D.D., D.Min., D.Lit., Pastor and former President of SBTC
This is a book that should be read by all mission field candidates. It will expand your vision of a lost world and strengthen the faith you must have in the midst of the battle. It is a testimony that will challenge even the strongest Christians and will enhance the spiritual lives of all believers. Every chapter is a different story and a testimony of God's authority over nature, sickness, demons, and even death. There is no doubt that the divine eyes looked upon the earth and came to rest upon the village of Mecatlan to show His power through Larry and Doris, who sought to keep their eyes upon Him. They were led by the Holy Spirit to a small village with its own dialect, where they had to work translators. Like Moses, they experienced what it means to choose "rather to suffer affliction...than to enjoy the passing pleasure of sin. esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches..." Hebrews 11:25-26. Pleasing God was of more value to them than what the world could offer. My wife Lucy and I were witnesses to the growth of the Lord's work that spread to the neighboring villages from that one small village high up in the mountains. We had the privilege of visiting them for a few days and were able to share the Word of God with a group of new Christians. We experienced the joy of flying in the plane piloted by Larry, then walking or riding horseback up those trails. In the more than thirty years that we have known Larry and Doris, we have always admired this couple and their children for their love and the surrender of their lives to these people who had lived in darkness, but learned to walk in the light of the gospel. This book should be in the library of all those involved in transcultural ministries. Its pages will give encouragement, strength and orientation on how to become a workman approved unto God (2 Timothy 2:15). I thank Doris for having written it and for leaving this spiritual inheritance to new generations of God's servants, who like they, will take a road that has never been taken. It is my prayer that every reader of this book will be as blessed by it as I have been. May God use it for His glory. --Rene Zapata, B.A., M.A., Pastor and Evangelist
