This new book 'After Voice from the Stars' -authored by Tom and Laurel Scotland endeavours to answer this question.

It is the extra personal story of two very human people who reveal their vulnerability quite openly, and yet, by faith discover the strength to accomplish the daunting task that lies before them.

Together, the authors have found their way into further, yet different adventures, often as scary as many of those portrayed in the initial book.

The book is written in a flowing, readable style. It brings the reader in touch with the highs and lows of life in the post-war world and through the revolutionary changes of the sixties and seventies. The thread of active faith in a living, loving Creator conveys both challenge and hope to readers.

• VIVIENNE BELL:
  An incredible detailed response to requests for a sequel to 'Voice from the Stars, A Pathfinder's Story'. It needed to be written.
• COASTAL AND DISTRICTS TIMES:
  The RAF Pathfinder who led others into battle, now found himself led along a pathway he would never once have dreamed possible. Tom and Laurel leave security and a well paid comfortable Perth lifestyle to combine in a story of hardship and faith, crises and celebration. This long awaited sequel is easy to read and hard to put down.
  
  
• STEWART DINNEN MBE, MA:
  This story needed to be told. It answers the questions many people asked after reading the first book, 'Voice from the Stars, A Pathfinder's Story'.
  
  Join Tom and Laurel Scotland in post-war years, as they move from professional security and the pursuit of personal vocations to embracing a vision which brought understanding and change to thousands of lives in S.E. Asia, through the printed page.
  
  The book is written in an honest flowing style and the resultant story surrounding this civil engineer and his nurse wife as they launch out on seemingly nothing, makes for absorbing reading. The vivid detail is the factor that makes it so enthralling.
  
  
• ALBANY ADVERTISER.
  This husband and wife account introduces a number of strong characters who have had an impact on their lives. Rather than keeping their life experiences to themselves they impart the wisdom they have learnt, and awaken the reader's conscience to listen to the simple pleasures and needs of one's own life. The pitfalls and achievements they encounter on the way could be synonymous with our own lives.
  
  
• DAVID LLOYD, WORDSWORK EXPRESS:
  It is a story of hardship, of friendship, a story of how faith can overcome the hurdles of life, set against some very familiar backgrounds. It explains how our lives overlap, demonstrates our dependence one on the other. It tells the story of life's little miracles. It restores one's faith in the Bigger Picture. It is most strongly recommended reading.
  
  
• KAYE CAPORN, EDITOR
  The authors resist the temptation to only tell the good bits. This gives an authenticity seldom seen and makes 'AFTER Voice from the Stars' come to life.
  
  
• PETER S. SCOTLAND:
  I feel privileged to have have been a part of this narrative. I recall the family highs and lows, joys and sadnesses, the little and the plenty. The preservation of its detail through diaries and letters has prompted a thrilling and accurate record.
