Baptist Mission Portraits by John Allen Moore (published by Smyth & Helwys, paperback, 171 pp.
Ransacking our Baptist heritage to discover the encouraging ways that God has used some of His choice servants is a pursuit worthy of our time. In Baptist Mission Portraits, John Allen Moore, a former missionary himself, has done the homework for you – all you have to do is read it. J He provides six interesting and inspiring biographical vignettes of men whose missionary shadows were cast a couple centuries ago and still stand tall. He includes well-known figures like William Carey and Adoniram Judson. But he includes others – names not as familiar to most – like Luther Rice, Lott Cary, William Knibb, and John Everett Clough. The book is an easy, delightful read, and even offers fresh insights into the more well-known figures. Young people and adults will find this profitable.
