Autobiography of John G. Paton

About this book

The autobiography of John G. Paton, missionary to the New Hebrides in the South Pacific, first published in 1889. Paton recounts his Scottish upbringing, his call, and his perilous years among the islanders of Tanna and Aniwa — escapes from death, grief, and the slow triumph of the gospel. It became one of the most stirring missionary biographies of its century.
