So, I don't know how many of you share my penchant for reading missionary anecdotes. But for those of you who do... what's your favorite?
I read Before We Kill and Eat You, which was absolutely hilarious. And books by the Elliots are always interesting. I've also read The Heavenly Man, which isn't so much a missionary book as just a Christian book. Phenomenal, by the way, you should check it out. So yes. Discuss.

Oh yes, I LOVE reading missionary stories! Isobel Kuhn is my favourite. (Firstly because she is Canadian, as am I; but also because I have always been encouraged and challenged by her story and writing.) She has written numerous books! In the most recent one I read she said this: "The One who had proved Himself a living Saviour to the founder of the China Inland Mission was just as living and faithful sixty years later to a little new trainee. And He will be to anyone who will surrender all to Him and step out in obedience to His call."
Also this: "The Lord should fill your horizon always - nothing else is worthy." Amen to that!
I loved "The Heavenly Man"! It's been ages since I read it, but I remember that it was just excellent!
