Unveiling ‘Twelve Stones of Grace’: The Inspiring Journey of Dr. Aletta Bell, Medical Missionary to India

September 24, 2025


I was honored to write the Foreword for Twelve Stones of Grace, the story of Dr. Aletta Bell, veteran missionary to India. Marlene and I saw her amazing medical ministry in person when we visited Dr. Bell in 1998.

She was and is a missionary hero.

I highly recommend this story of a woman who dedicated her life to serving others in Jesus’ name. She lit a candle in the darkness, and the light still shines today.

If you are looking for a gripping missionary story, here it is. Parents, read this book to your children. Grandparents, give it to your grandkids.

Special thanks to Nicky McMaster for her labor of love in writing this book. To Dr. Aletta Bell, well done, good and faithful servant of the Lord. You will shine like the stars in the sky forever.
