Mildred A. Martin (1)

Part of the Miller series by Mildred A. Martin, Missionary Stories with the Millers contains 28 short stories about a few well-known and many unknown missionaries, mainly from the twentieth century. The location of each narrative is highlighted on a world map with each chapter heading, providing geographical context. Each account focuses on a single, action-packed incident from a missionary’s life and draws the reader in with fictionalized style. A brief historical note about the missionary closes each chapter.

Join Hudson Taylor as he tries to reach Chinese fishermen with the gospel, Dr. David Livingstone in his close encounter with a lion in Africa, and Gladys Aylward as she escapes the invading Japanese with 100 Chinese orphans.

My son enjoyed Bible smuggler David Bontrager’s encounter with a Communist Romanian border guard. “The Tiger Is Loose!” was my favorite. Jack McGuckin, a Jungle Aviation Services pilot, while flying solo, had to act fast when a caged tiger that he was transporting got loose in the airplane mid-flight.
