While there may be missionary bios that are more eloquent (Elisabeth Elliot, Isobel Kuhn and Helen Roseveare's for example), you won't find many that are more candid than this one. Rosalind has no intention of portraying herself as some sort of super Christian. Her main point is, "If God can use someone as flawed as I am, then He can use anyone."
She writes of the tremendous challenges of reaching the Chinese for Christ and of the breakthroughs that came after years of toil. She records how the Lord miraculously provided for their needs over and over again. And she tells of continuous health struggles for both Jonathan and herself that kept them constantly trusting the Lord.
I particularly enjoyed her testimony of their 1916 furlough when she came to a deeper understanding of Christ's indwelling in her heart and life. Rosalind's hope for the book was that it would help those who were discouraged in ministry. In my case, her hopes were realized.
