The Baptism of General Butt Naked

AND OTHER INCREDIBLE STORIES FROM THE LIFE OF AUSTRALIAN FAITH BASED MISSIONARY EVANGELIST DOUG WILLIS.

This inspiring book contains incredible events experienced by Doug Willis that testify to God’s providence, provision and protection during his 60 years of missionary and evangelistic ministry.

The things shared in this book took place during his ministry in Australia and 40 other nations around the world. Each story is intricately woven around a lifetime passion of seeking to win the lost to Christ.

What makes these accounts more amazing is the fact that his crusades, seminars and world tours were all paid for from unsolicited funds freely given by God’s children. In declining to receive a salary, God provided for Doug’s family; for his ministry expenses and for his personal needs—for this reason many know him as a faith missionary.

The author has compiled this book as an anthology, with the hope that the collection of distinct and remarkable stories will give a little ‘faith lift’ to those who need encouragement in their walk with God.

About the Author

In late August 1951, Doug publicly confessed his faith in Christ and was baptized soon after at the Church of Christ in Lismore.

He seemed destined for ministry – in 1958 ministering at a church in the eastern wheat belt of Western Australia. Not long after conducting tent missions he was drawn to the United States to team up with Reggie Thomas – a wonderful God-used evangelist. Since then this team has shared a ministry in world evangelism.

Frida

Chosen to Die, Destined to Live

“A BOOK DEMANDING TO BE READ.”

~ Christopher J. Mruk Ph.D. Fellow, American Psychological Association Professor of Psychology, Bowling Green State University

When Frida approached me as a student to help her work on this second edition of her book by directing it more toward resilience, I knew that I was about to become the student and she was to be the teacher.

As we went through the first edition talking about the changes she had in mind, it became clear to me that somehow this individual did everything “right” that we know about in terms of recovering from, and growing through, trauma. Her story takes the reader through all the stages of the process. It begins with the most devastating destruction of one’s sense of order about how the world works and the absolute shattering of personal identity. Next we follow her through the common after-effects of confusion, self-blame, betrayal, depression, and anger often associated with the process. Finally, the book leads us through the other side-effects that researchers talk about, especially finding ways to rebuild a sense of meaning, discover a larger purpose in life, being able to love again, and becoming even more than who and what one was before the trauma.
 
To put it in the simplest terms, this book is alive and powerful in a way that is humbling yet inspiring. It could be read as a story of personal survival, one of psychological transformation, or a journey to spiritual salvation. Anyone who has suffered at the hands of others, people who work with survivors, and those who are interested in the amazing capacity of the human spirit to be resilient could benefit from reading this book.

She graduated from Bowling Green State University Firelands Campus in the State of Ohio with a bachelor’s degree of Arts in Communication.

SA Greats

South Australians are lucky.

They have not only a temperate climate but a government, developed from the principles of the Enlightenment, which encourages innovation and social progress. The lead South Australians have given the world in agriculture, science and social advancement can, in part, be attributed to the women and men described in this volume and to the system set up by Wakefield and his team in London in 1835. The culture espoused by such people as Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill reached a long way!

RB Smith’s invention of the Stumpjump Plough, Lawrence Bragg’s discoveries which eventually found the structure of DNA and Mary Lee’s world-first embraced innovation and social reform. Perhaps the greatest gift to humanity though was Howard Florey’s development of penicillin. These people and others are saluted in this book.

Their contributions do not appear to be diminishing. Terry Tao’s recent solutions to many different longstanding mathematical problems and the installation of the world’s biggest battery in South Australia in 2019 suggest we are not faltering, but there is a long way to go.
