Fascinating portrayal of a great servant of God

I read this book as a college student and loved it! It tells the story of the great missionary to China, Lottie Moon, in a way both realistic and inspirational. Lottie Moon has been referred to as "the closest thing Southern Baptists have to a saint", and anyone who reads this biography will understand why. You will see Lottie's life from her childhood, through her college conversion and call to be a pioneer missionary to China, until her death as a martyr of charity who gave all that she had to relieve the starving Chinese during a famine, thus starving herself. The reader will see Miss Moon, not as some caricatured Hollywood notion of a strait-laced insensitive missionary, but as a brilliant intellectual, promoter of women's welfare - she fought against the practice of foot-binding in China - and proclaimer of God's mercy in Christ.
