Description: "At the age of sixteen Jack Ringer succeeded in joining the Coldstream Guards by claiming to be eighteen. Settling into a selfish routine of drinking, smoking and gambling, he soon became the battalion bookmaker! But the death of a colleague resulted in Jack's conversion to Christ and eventual work as a missionary (ably supported by his New Zealand born wife, Elma) amongst the staunchly Muslim Pathan tribes of the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan. This book recounts the challenges faced, and adventures experienced, in a lifetime of service to his fellow humans in what could on occasions be a distinctly inhospitable environment."--Dust jacket back.
