I received this book as a Christmas gift from my mother-in-law. I had just returned from a mission trip to Thailand and had a special interest in the work of Adoniram and his wife "Nancy" as he so lovingly called her. I found their commitment and drive fascinating. I think you'll find this to be one of those books that keeps coming to mind over many years. The story dug a place in my soul.
A Story of Splendor
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Not only is this book about an amazing life of a historical American, but the book itself is amazing. I felt as if the author was writing and describing things that they had seen, not just studied and passed on for our benefit. I recommend that ANYONE planning on doing foreign missions work, read and re-read this story of a predecessors life. If you are not a missionary in the making, it is one of the greatest and best retold stories yet.
