The stories of Gospel triumphs in the Pacific islands have never ceased to thrill those who hear them. Missionaries, full of faith and courage, faced almost unthinkable hardship. Many were murdered or succumbed to disease. But more always rose to take their place to win 'Gems for the Redeemer's crown' from the Coral islands of the Pacific. The change in the islands was profound: where violence once reigned there were found happy, peaceable Christians - models for us to follow today. Former cannibals became evangelists themselves, the love of Christ constraining them to take the gospel to those still in darkness. In this volume of 'Gems from the Coral Islands', missionary William Gill tells of the faith, the struggles, and the triumphs of these pioneer evangelists and their converts in Vanuatu and New Caledonia. He also gives a fascinating glimpse of life in general in these tropical islands their earliest days. "Written with graphic power and possesses the most thrilling interest".

This is the story of the triumphs of the gospel in the Cook Islands (Hervey and Penrhyn Isles) and Niue (Savage Island) in the 19th century. From cannibal savages, many of these islanders were transformed into exemplary Christians, and fearless heralds of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The fascinating story of their progress is told here with sympathy and enthusiasm by the author, who was himself a missionary among them. "The story of the gospel's progress in the islands of the Pacific, and the great moral and social revolution thence resulting has no parallel save in the Acts of the Apostles. With such materials, and with the experiences of sixteen years' labours amid the scenes he describes, Mr. Gill has produced a work of thrilling interest." "Filled with most interesting accounts of the wonderful works of God, and triumphs of his gospel." Volume 1, an account of the beginning of gospel work in Western Polynesia (The New Hebrides and New Caledonia), is also available.
