The thrilling accounts in this collection include stories of Jacob Chamberlain's medical ministry in India, the dangers faced by Alexander Mackay in Uganda, James Chalmers' work among the headhunters of New Guinea, John Paton's mission to the South Sea cannibals, and the Hawaiian queen Kapiolani's challenge to the gods of the volcano. "Romantic" in the sense that these brave missionaries faced the unknown, but never "romanticized" - all sacrificed home and luxury, and many suffered the loss of family, fortune, and even their lives.
