W H Cherry - Evangelical Times, October 1993
As with all Phyllis Thompson's books this is a very good read and much more. In twelve chapters she weaves together memoirs of Dr Rupert Clarke who drove a straight furrow of fifty years' missionary service. God's sovereignty and 'Rupert's unfailing confidence in God's faithfulness' run like a twisted thread through this fascinating story. He might never have been born; twice he could have lost his life!
Denis Lane, Overseas Missionary Fellowship
Today's world is impatient with missionary hero worship, and rightly so, but in painting realistic human pictures, we need to beware lest we minimise the grace of God manifested in human life. I believe this book maintains the right balance.
