Born in 1888, Bertha Stanley did not have an easy life. As a child, she lost her mother and two siblings in three separate accidents. Later, when Bertha expressed a desire to attend college, her stepmother threatened her with banishment from the family if she continued her education. Bertha chose college anyway.
Roy Byram came from a long line of Presbyterians. His family drew strength from a promise in Isaiah that stated God would never depart from those who loved him. Roy believed that promise and held fast to it throughout his life.
Roy and Bertha met at Occidental College and married when both were in medical school. By this time, they had become courageous believers who would go on to serve the Lord in dangerous circumstances.
Written by their grandson, Stanley Armes, The Cost of True Worship details Roy and Bertha's ministry in Korea while it was occupied by the Japanese, who forced the people to practice the Shinto religion. Being a steadfast Christian in Korea was dangerous, and many believers died. Yet not even imprisonment could deter the Byrams from their devotion to Christ and their commitment to the spread of the gospel.
