This is a very old story but a good one about a young man from a fishing village in Scotland heard the call of God to become a missionary priest. He fought for the rights of the poor in a coal-mining town, in the brothels of Barcelona and finally in a remote village in Asia. It is an inspiring story of the power of God to change lives.
This has to be one of the most inspirational and skillfully written accounts of missionary work. It reads like an adventure story, without being preachy or sentimental, but nevertheless raises insightful questions about what it means to lead a Christian life.
Although the main character is a Catholic, based on a real person, the appeal of the story transcends any particular system of belief. A great read, especially for Christmas or Easter.
