JOHN G. PATON: AMONG The CANNIBALS FOR CHRIST: Dangers, Deliverances, and Triumphs of a Fearless Missionary

In an age when missionaries sailed toward dangers from which few expected them to return, John G. Paton answered the call of God to carry the Gospel into the islands of the South Pacific. He entered a world of tribal warfare, violent hostility, disease, death, and cannibalism-armed with no earthly weapon, but with an unshakable faith in Jesus Christ. After burying his beloved wife and infant child with his own hands, Paton refused to abandon the people God had called him to reach. Surrounded by enemies, threatened with death, and often standing alone, he witnessed the protecting hand of God again and again. JOHN G. PATON: AMONG THE CANNIBALS FOR CHRIST is the breathtaking true story of a missionary who believed that no people were beyond the reach of the Gospel. Through heartbreaking loss, miraculous deliverances, relentless opposition, and astonishing spiritual triumphs, Paton's life became a testimony to the power of courage, prayer, forgiveness, and total surrender to God. Dr. Michael H. Yeager brings to life the dangers, sacrifices, and victories of a fearless servant whose obedience helped transform violent islands into communities touched by the love of Christ.
