Food for Cannibals
The Story of John Paton
by Jim Cromarty
GoodBookStall Review:
John Paton 1824 - 1907, missionary to New Hebrides now known as Vanuattu. It took me a long time to get to grips with this book but by the end I was really enjoying it. This is the story of a remarkable Christian man (and family) whose ministry amongst Cannibals in the islands of the New Hebrides was amazing. He was greatly used by God despite many personal family tragedies and setbacks. At the end of each chapter there is "Something to think about" aimed at children. I wasn't sure about this because I couldn't make up my mind which age group would read the book. Nevertheless I'm glad that I persevered with it.
