Missionary Biographies: Filling up the afflictions of Christ: The Cost of Bringing the Gospels to the Nations in the lives of William Tyndale, Adoniram Judson and John Paton.
Author: John Piper.
Jesus’s words in John 12 are sobering: unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it will bear little fruit. The history of Christianity’s expansion proves that God’s strategy for reaching unreached peoples with the gospel includes the sufferings of his frontline heralds: the missionaries who willingly die a thousand daily deaths to advance God’s kingdom.
