Love Stories of Great Missionaries: Adoniram and Ann Judson, Robert and Mary Moffat, David and Mary Livingstone, James and Emily Gilmour, François and Christina Coillard, Henry Martyn

Missions and romance—a great match! This easy read is a delightful introduction to missionary biography and a great gift for singles, college students, Christian families, missionaries and all those who love them.

In six vignettes, the author recounts the romances of:

– Adoniram and Ann Judson
– Robert and Mary Moffat
– David and Mary Livingstone
– James and Emily Gilmour
– Francois and Christina Coillard
– Henry Martyn and Lydia Grenfell

The book is also classified by various scenarios of courtship:

– Courtship while in the homeland
– Courtship while serving on the mission field
– Enduring parental objections
– Attempting courtship through correspondence
– Handling unusual offers of marriage
– Even a “hopeless attachment” that did not end well

These stories are refreshing, relevant, and helpful to ministry-minded Christians today. In the introduction and afterword, David Hosaflook offers reflections from his own experiences as a single and a married missionary, giving advice to today’s missionaries.
