Paul Schlehlein's fresh account of the man who buried his wife and child in his first months on Tanna and stayed - dedication, desperation and sacrifice at the most extreme level. Read more.
John G. Paton went to the New Hebrides in the mid-nineteenth century, buried his wife and infant son within months of arriving, and stayed. Paul Schlehlein, himself a missionary, takes a fresh look at that life and ministry rather than simply retelling Paton's famous autobiography.
John MacArthur writes that he was enduringly impacted early in life by Paton's own account - a stunning record of dedication, desperation, sacrifice at the most extreme level, and selfless love to Christ - and that he was marked for life by the lasting gospel impact of one man empowered and protected by the Holy Spirit. In an age when everyone gets a trophy, this is a corrective.
