About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Book of Missionary Heroes by Basil Joseph Mathews. Read in English by BookAngel7; Teresa Bauman; Kingof192; Betsy Cooley; Fiddlesticks; Charfance; Larry Wilson; David Olson; Maggie Travers; Greg Giordano; Emie09; Adele de Pignerolles; Bria Snow; Vanessa Cooley; Dave Harrell; L. Christopherson; Brad Christian Through the centuries, the world has been witness to an unbroken trail of heroes--men and women who braved privation, danger, and death to bring the light of Jesus Christ to the darkest corners of the earth. Some are well known, others long forgotten, but all belong to the same indomitable band of torch-bearers. Join a few of these heroes as they face cannibals, battle slave traders, and care for sick enemies, always with one mission at the forefront--to serve their Lord and bring others into His light.
