Evangeline, a Story of Faith is the biography of Evangeline McNeill.  Raised in Ireland, Evangeline's family moved to the United States in 1912, narrowly avoiding passage on the Titanic. Her father, a pastor and evangelist, relocated to Portland, where he began Hope Hall, which eventually became Multnomah School of the Bible. Evangeline married Archie McNeill and together they founded Cannon Beach Christian Conference center. In 1952 Archie's sudden death catapulted Evangeline to the helm of a growing ministry. Long before the days of women's liberation, Evangeline's grit, determination and unrelenting faith guided her successful efforts to develop Cannon Beach Conference Center into a premier Christian retreat touching the lives of tens of thousands of people.
