From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya
A Biographical History of Christian Missions
By Ruth A. Tucker
490p
Until I just typed that, I didn't realize the author was a woman. Great book! I was afraid such a subject might be dry. But it was really good! Sometimes I couldn't figure out what acronyms stood for, I'd skim back but be able to find what it stood for, that was kind of annoying. Amazing people but not saints. And their lives weren't perfect, they had their problems, inner and outer. A thoroughly honest book about those men and women. And I cried at the last line, ended up reading the last page a second time. So powerful.
9/10
