Hungarian Summary:
A skót származású John Paton (1824-1907) kortársa volt Hudson Taylornak, C. H. Spurgeonnak és a bristoli Müller Györgynek a kimagasló modern kori hithősöknek. Életrajza egy bátor ember szinte állandó halálos veszedelmek közötti munkáját írja le. Az emberevőknek az új Hebridák szigetén is meg kellett hallaniuk az evangéliumot. John Paton szívét a Krisztus szeretete szorongatta, ezért hagyta ott a kényelmes európai életet, hogy élete kockáztatásával is segítse és terjessze a Biblia üzenetét a sötétségben élőknek.
English Summary:
Abridged from the original autobiography by John G. Paton. The story of the Scottish missionary pioneer John Gibson Paton (1824-1907).

This is the account of John G. Paton's pioneering mission work among cannibals in the New Hebrides (now Vanuatu). Living among constant dangers and death threats, battling against illness and enduring great personal loss and sacrifice, John G. Paton laboured on and showed great love for the island peoples. He had the joy eventually seeing people come to Christ and living a totally transformed lifestyle.
