Adventure in Africa: The Story of Don McClure

This book is incredible. As Don McClure's great niece, I've grown up hearing about him. I did not realize the extent of his experience and impact on the people of Africa until I read about it. His love for Christ and his dedication to Him has deep meaning for me. I've learned so much about him...and even though I never got to meet him, I feel that I know him after reading this book.

The story of Don Mclure's life in Sudan and Ethiopia gives a realistic view of missionary life in rural Africa. Don struggled not only with the cultures (that he loved) in Africa, but American mission bureaucrats trying to keep up with their rules from offices in New York. There are fascinating insights about how to take Christ to primitive cultures, about not protecting yourself, and how to deal with witchcraft and broken vehicles. This is the best missionary biography that I have ever read.

This book is a biographical story of Don McClure and family through their missionary journey through East Africa. One of my favorite books of all time. Espically shows how one must lean on God to survive, and how faith in God will see the Lord's will done. Also shows the saving grace of the Gospel both spiritually and physically. A great defense of Christian missions simply through the stories Don told in his letters home. This will reach your heart and show you what missions is all about...the Love of God. If you can get a hold of a copy of this book...consider yourself blessed. You will be changed
