Children's book about Anna Mow wins award of excellence.
 
June 10, 2005 (Elgin, IL) -- "The Something Else Lady," a children's book  
about Anna Mow, has received Best in Print Award of Excellence from the
Printing 
 Industries of Virginia. Mow was a prominent and well-loved Church of the  
Brethren leader of the last half of the 20th century. The book was written by
 
Earle Fike Jr. of Bridgewater, Va., and illustrated by Yolanda Wegner, Mow's 

great-granddaughter. It was published as part of Bethany Theological
Seminary's 
 centennial celebration.
 
Mow was a professor at Bethany, a Church of the Brethren missionary to	
India, and a well-known pastor, author, and speaker in the Church of the 
Brethren. 
Harriet Beahm Kaylor, Mow's niece, comments, "The infectious laugh of  Anna 
Beahm Mow as well as her generous and spiritual outlook on life are told  
perfectly in `The Something Else Lady.'"
 
The book includes a CD with the song "Sister Anna, Beauty Queen," written  
for Mow by Andy and Terry Murray. The book/CD combo is available from
Brethren  
Press for $12.95 plus shipping and handling. Call 800-441-3712.
