Synopsis: |
The success of the gospel in the Pacific in the 19th century is still almost unparalleled in the history of Christianity. Ever since, Christians have been thrilled at the accounts of the triumphs of the gospel of peace among savage cannibals, and the heroism of the missionaries in the face of death. Many evangelists were murdered, and others succumbed to disease. But more always rose to take their place, working fearlessly to win 'Gems for the Redeemer's crown' from the coral islands of the Pacific. 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 the New Hebrides and New Caledonia. He also gives a fascinating glimpse of life in general in these tropical islands, in the earliest days after their discovery. Volume two, a history of missions in the Cook Islands and Niue, is also available. "Written with graphic power and possesses the most thrilling interest". |
