Welcome to tales of adrenaline-pumping adventures covering the globe! Witness close-call escapes, fearless devotion, sacrificial love and dealings with fierce creatures all from the safety of your own chair. Even better, these are real-life stories.
Within the pages of The Adventures of Missionary Heroism, you will discover men and women who risked all for the sake of Christ and taking His love and truth to others who had never before heard the Gospel. Set in the desserts of Mongolia, the snows of Canada, the plains of America’s West, the remote regions of South America or the wilds of the South Pacific, each story is unique and exciting. The author John C. Lambert took special care to document the legacies of lesser-known missionaries who are often overlooked today. Thus, even the avid student can
learn something new! In addition, the editor Joshua M. Wean provides a short summary of each missionary’s life and a background of the mission field, making this volume a truly useful tool. Readers of IndustriousDaughters may especially appreciate the story of Kapiolani, an industrious Hawaiian chieftainess, who went to great lengths to show the power of the Gospel over the Goddess of the Volcano.
