Gems from the Coral Islands: Vol 1, Western Polynesia - William Gill - Bog

Bag om Gems from the Coral Islands: Vol 1, Western Polynesia

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".
