Book Description
In his book, Spiritual Unfolding of Bishop H. C. G. Moule, John Baird wrote, ‘No course of reading is more establishing than that of Christian biography — the battle story of those who in the conflict of earth have been great in the life of God.’ Swift and Beautiful tells the amazing stories of a dozen men and women who at great cost gave their lives to take the gospel of God’s grace to those who had never heard it. Some of these faithful missionaries are well-known, others almost forgotten, but all are ‘great in the life of God.’
‘How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”’ (Isaiah 52:7 ESV).

Beautiful words from a dear professor and friend. I loved the combination of narratives woven over many centuries and places with the real frailties and struggles of these special saints. A great encouragement in Gospel ministry.
