Summary "The Book of Missionary Heroes" by Basil Mathews is a collection of inspirational narratives written in the early 20th century. The book presents the true tales of remarkable missionaries and their adventures across the globe, aiming to convey their profound commitment to spreading Christianity, overcoming dangers, and embodying the spirit of perseverance. At the start of the book, the author draws a captivating comparison between ancient Greek relay races and the ongoing journey of missionaries throughout history. This prologue serves as a metaphor for torchbearers passing on the light of faith across generations, highlighting figures like St. Paul, who traveled perilously from city to city, and other notable missionaries such as Livingstone and John Williams. The narrative sets the tone for the stories that follow, promising readers thrilling accounts of bravery, sacrifice, and the transformative power of faith in diverse and often challenging settings.
