'Here is one of the
greatest missionary stories of all time retold for modern readers,
especially young people. Who can fail to be thrilled by this chronicle of
peril and high adventure, and who can fail to be challenged? In John Paton
we see a life of unashamed consecration to Jesus Christ characterized by
obedience to Scripture, burning concern for the lost, contentment in
hardship and extraordinary courage. We admire God's tenderness in caring
for his servant, and also his power as he steps in so many times to
deliver him from certain death. Jim Cromarty tells the story skillfully and
draws out of it scores of lessons and practical suggestions. No one can
read this book and remain the same.'

'John Paton is one of those
nearly-forgotten pioneer missionary saints who are too little remembered
these days. This engrossing account of his life and ministry will make
Paton live again for a whole new generation. Parents and teachers will
love the book's practical format, with its careful, clear application of
the spiritual truths in each chapter. And Jim Cromarty's lively writing
style makes this a book that is hard to put down.
