This book is a record of the daring adventures of the men and women who followed C. T. Studd - the cricketer-missionary whose life story has thrilled so many thousands of people. It is a straightforward account of how ordinary men and women in many parts of the world learned the secret of turning crisis and calamity into achievement and opportunity. It describes the method and gives case after case of successful application of that secret - in problems of finance, in dealing with governments and individuals, both civilized and savage, in the building of mission houses and the buying of cars. It tells of the work of the modern pioneers who have staked their lives in the service of God through years of loneliness and days of danger.
