5.0 out of 5 stars C.T.Studd--Norman Grubb, August 31, 2009

This review is from: C. T. Studd: Cricketer & Pioneer (Paperback)

This book describes a man who gave up a mansion to rival any in England in his day, and a life replete with luxuary and every convenience; to accept a call from God to go to the deepest, most remote African jungle and live in a decrepit, dilapidated shack. He kept his charge and remained in service there even after his beloved wife took sick and had to return home. They only saw each other on two occasions during their entire remaining years after her return to England.

If you think you have experienced times of personal sacrifice, you will get a degree of measurement from this man's life. C.T. Studd "puts the rubber to the road," so to speak.A well written story of devotion to and for God. Must reading for those looking for inspiration and direction in making important decisions in your life. Great book, about an even greater man.

This review is from: C. T. Studd: Cricketer & Pioneer (Paperback)

The Cricketer & Pioneer sets off telling the story how how C.T. Studd was possibly one of the greatest players ever of the game Cricket. Since I am not familiar with the game of Cricket, it seemed quite trivial to me. It helped me place into perspective today's sports heroes. The rest of the book walks with C.T. through the mission field in China and Africa. The book is not what one would call an "easy read", the language is a bit antiquated and unfamiliar, but that is a part of the charm of the book. My favorite quote from the book was, "Christ wants not nibblers of the possible, but grabbers of the impossible."

4.0 out of 5 stars More than a cricket player..., October 25, 2002

...which is a good thing, since I don't (and don't care to) know about the sport. The testimony of Studd, his many mission fields, how he proposed to his future wife, the circumstances of his death, are great reading and an inspiration to all Christians.
