John G. Paton: Missionary to the New Hebrides is a missionary classic. In this companion volume, John Paton's wife, Margaret Whitecross Paton, gives an enthralling account of missionary life in the New Hebrides from the 1860s to the 1890s. The steady advance of the gospel in the islands is vividly described, and the whole account is set against the background of the joys and sorrows of family life. Margaret Paton writes with rare grace, humour and pathos. This is an inspiring story, full of the triumphs of Christian faith and love, and a missionary classic in its own right - a book to prize.
