"What a great autobiography! Can't say enough. A man goes to preach the gospel to the cannibals on one of the islands in the South Pacific in the 1800's just 19 years after two other missionaries were eaten for trying to do the same. He is alone and threatened every day but trusts in the Lord for help."
"This was one of the most amazing books I have ever read! I can't imagine reading it and not being strongly impressed by the truth and wonder of God's providence. Besides being very encouraging, I found this book to be very rebuking.(in a good way) It shows how little most of us Christians in America today know about true suffering for Christ. John Paton's stories of his missionary experience in the New Hebrides are an amazing recount of God's awesome workings and providences, it is full of inspiring tales of Christian heroism for the cross of Christ, and over all is a wonderful glory to God."
