'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.
