Endless Altars of Remembrance: God’s Faithful Love and Protection

By Hannah Hofer

This is the testimony of a single mom of four children, who, at the lowest part of her life, told God, if He really existed, this would be a perfect time to reach down and help. Well, He did and through His book of thousands of promises, He revealed His heart of deep and endless love giving them hope and joy.

About the book: Hannah is in awe that her beloved Lord has used her to write 3 books. They tell about her 2nd world war growing up and her coming to America as a new wife and mother. Her husband leaving her and their 4 children after 15 years of marriage gave her thoughts of ending her life. Someone from Campus Crusade for Christ led her to receive Jesus Crist as her Savior and a new life began.

God called her into ministry and now she has led tens of thousands of people to the Lord, who saved them. She longs to continue in this till He takes her home.

Hannah Hofer

At the age of 85, Hannah is more in love with her God, even though she cannot see how more is possible. Having lost some height, she is only 5’6” now, and is still a blue eyed blond, she can still handle the many questions of her high school students and her 23 teen-age great-grandchildren. She shares how her beloved God has never left or forsaken her in any part of her life and trusts Him not to start now. What amazing memories He brings back to her and yet the stories have not ended, there is yet more to come. Hannah says her first love is her God and with His continued instruction and guidance she longs to lead the lost into His waiting arms. She will work for CRU until her Lord says “finished,” and is hoping to see Him finally face to face like He promised. Until then she will share with you all His precious works, and His great faithfulness. She already finished book number 6 and hopes you will be blessed by this one also, because the Holy Spirit is feeding her what she is to write. Hannah will continue to write until her Creator says “stop”.

Beloved brethren,

In my first two books I did not want to add this part of my life because I did not want to cause any painful memories for you. However, my friends and family felt I really should add it this time. I just wanted to show that the ones who suffer the most in a war are the innocent, and to share how our faithful God loves and protects, even though we were not even His yet.

THE WAR TIME

T he memories of my early years were happy ones of starting school, I even remember my first teacher’s name for some reason. I was a big girl now and my sister had to stay at home, she was no competition for me here. My dress was so lovely and I enjoyed the present my grandma had sent me.

All I remember about my dad was that he was tall, had blond hair and blue eyes just like me. He played with me, but he was only home one weekend a month then he had to go back to his company. I was jealous of the company because they had him more than me, even though I didn’t quite understand what a company was.

There were many pictures on our walls of our mom, my sister and me that my dad had drawn and they really looked like us. Of all the many pictures we had, my favorite one was my sitting on my dad’s shoulder, being four and wearing my Bavarian dress with my blond hair gathered on top of my head.

Often, I wondered why the adults were huddled around the radio talking very quietly and seemed to be afraid of something. I just heard the word war. We were living with my daddy’s parents at this time, they were Polish, and I loved the dishes my grandma Anna cooked. Being with grandma was a joy, she told funny stories and liked to laugh and hug me.

We had to go to the bomb shelter almost every night and it really scared me because when we came back out after the bombings, many of the houses in the city were on fire most people cried and I hated the sounds of the fire sirens. I wished my daddy was here and made them stop, but I never saw him again.

MORE PAIN AND BROKEN HEARTS

M y grandma received a letter that my father was missing and one week later another letter that his brother was blown up by a grenade. I never saw my grandma laugh or make fun again after she got this terrible news. Because of some very painful situations I did not get to see my dad’s parents again either.

One day my mom, in tears, told me that we had to flee because the Russians were entering the State we lived in. She explained that my grandparents were leaving their house and seeking refuge with their family in Poland. Mom took a few of our clothes, wrapped them in towels and tied them on each of our backs.

It did not make sense to me, but I was very sad that I could not take my lovely big doll my grandma gave me for my birthday. Besides, my friend and I
