Eva Von Winkler, often known as \u201cSister Eva,\u201d or \u201cMother Eva,\u201d is among the women included in the They Knew Their God Series. In Volume One, Edwin and Lillian Harvey tell how this remarkable woman, brought up in an ancestral castle in South Eastern Germany, eventually established a sisterhood in Friedenshort. Here, Sister Eva and her fellow sisters, ministered to anyone in need\u2014the elderly no longer cared for by their own family, children without a home, and the sick in need of loving attention.

In the \u201d The Call Back Series\u201d written and compiled by Edwin and Lillian Harvey, there is a chapter in Loneliness, the first volume of the series, entitled \u201cEva Von Winkler Calls Back.\u201d When nervous exhaustion overtook Sister Eva in the midst of her work, she was set aside for seven long years. This \u201cdetour\u201d she later remarked, \u201cwas necessary to prepare me for His service.\u201d She had realized that she was \u201csinking into the rut of duties in a so-called Christian work, and missing the highest.\u201d (Illness, p. 26.)
\n\u201cSide-tracked, my Lord, amid some pain and loss,
\nUnfit to strive amid the lab\u2019ring throng,
\nWeakened and spent\u2014yet whatso\u2019er the cross,
\nResting in Thee, Who art forever strong.\u201d
\n\u2014Fred Brooks. <\/em>(ibid)<\/p>\n
