Marie H. Little, widow of well-known evangelism author Paul E. Little, died July 28 at the age of 91. In recent years, Little spent her time revising her late husband's best-selling InterVarsity Press books How to Give Away Your Faith, Know What You Believe and Know Why You Believe. Little went as a missionary to China in 1947 and was caught in the communist takeover. She was the last missionary left at the Borden Memorial Hospital in North West China. In 1951 she was finally granted approval to leave the country. Upon her return, she joined InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and met Paul. They were married and have two children Deborah and Paul. Paul E. Little was killed in a car accident in Canada in July 1975, and since then Marie has carried on a wide ministry of teaching and practicing evangelism.
