John Tallach retells the story of five lives: a German missionary in England who gave his life to the orphans of Bristol's slums (George Muller); a Canadian girl who served the Lisu of China and died of cancer in 1957 (Isobel Kuhn); a rough Cornishman who came to 'say, sing and dance, glory, glory' and left an unforgettable testimony to cheerful Christianity (Billy Bray); a Yale undergraduate who lived to 'arrest the flow of Indian souls rushing on to a lost eternity' (David Brainard); and, finally, a Scot who wandered the earth before he came to love Christ and the poor of Dundee more than he loved all else (Robert Annan).
