From Japan’s once-closed ports to Uganda’s fevered lakeshores, these six nineteenth-century narratives spotlight missionaries who traded comfort for Christ. Braving famine, fever, and hostile kings, pioneers such as Alexander Mackay and John Horden pressed on to translate Scripture, plant churches, and—when required—die for the gospel. First printed in 1894 and freshly revised, The Heroic in Missions is a compact gallery of patient, rugged faith that challenges today’s readers to carry the same steady light into the world’s dark places.
