About this book

Six more true stories of faith, told simply for young readers: a man who buried his own family on a faraway island and stayed to dig a well that won it for God; a Welsh girl who walked barefoot over the hills for a Bible; a freed slave who carried the gospel to Jamaica before Carey ever sailed; a famous cricketer who gave away a fortune for the forests of Africa; an artist who traded fame for the desert; and a doctor who opened the hospital doors for the women of India. The fourth book of Brave for God.

John Paton grew up in a poor family in Scotland, in a tiny cottage where his father prayed aloud so often and so warmly that the children half believed heaven was just on the other side of the wall.
