description: To his headhunter neighbors, John Paton was Elijah and Moses wrapped up in one. When John Paton left Scotland to become a missionary to the South Pacific in the late 1800s, he dared an island's chief priests to prove their gods by placing a death curse on him. The failure of their curse brought support for his ministry from some, murderous ambushes from others. When Paton dug a well and provided "water from a rock," it was a clear miracle in the sight of the islanders. From that time forward people turned to the Lord. The courageous adventures of a daring missionary, told afresh in this updated and condensed autobiography
