Description: The accounts of historic missionaries (William Carey, Adoniram and Ann Judson, Bill Wallace, Lottie Moon, Jim Elliot, George Leile, David Brainerd, Eric Liddell, John & Betty Stam, James Fraser) remind us how to live out what the Bible says. With each profile, Akin journeys into the heart of that gospel servant's mission-minded story and makes a compelling connection to a similar account from the Bible.
Notes: Forewords by David Platt and Bruce Ashford.
