A full and passionate life

Cameron Townsend, one of the leaders of the 'third wave' of modern missions, raised awareness of hidden people groups. 'Cam' started Wycliffe, SIL, and then JAARS. An amazing story, each page of the book shows the remarkable faith and untiring efforts of a humble man as he strives to bring the word of God to people across the world in their own language. A great vision to read about and catch.
