Fifty Missionary Heroes

By Julia H. Johnston

Some of the most uplifting stories of the missions to be found anywhere.  The legendary Patrick and Colombia appear in the company with Judson, Brainerd, Carey, and Morrison.  Also lesser-known figures in the missionary "hall-of-fame,"  the slave boy, the largest church in the world (19th century); cannibals, one of the first "bible smugglers," and many more.
