KING OF THE CANNIBALS
The Story of John G. Paton
Missionary to the New Hebrides
Jim Cromarty'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.'
Stuart Olyott
'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.
