Book Description

March 1993
John Ruddock's vivid and animated words transport you from wiring the first lights in turn-of-the-century Ireland to 52 years trailblazing for a more powerful light through Central America.

It's a physical adventure of outrageous characters, banana trains, Carib Indians, dictators, coups, volcanoes, malaria, dugout canoes, monkeys, macaws and machetes.

A spiritual validation for the reality of God, His living Word, the life-redeeming gift of His Son and proof that faith changes lives.

And a story of diligent love between a man and his Savior.

This book includes 24 pages of photographs.


Editorial Reviews

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

We pass more alligator hunting camps. At one point the river was so low we had to get out and push the boat pan. Two men from the US are there just now suffering hardships to find the "lost city." Up that river I know there is not only one lost city but many lost souls.

One man there of the Carib tribe told me that he is a Christian. He asked me if I was Moravian, a Baptist, a Methodist, or an Adventist. Upon my saying I was not, he said, "Then what are you?" "I am what the Bible says I am," I replied."

5.0 out of 5 stars Story of a latin American country and the impact of one man, March 24, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Lighting the Mosquito Coast (Paperback)
The book shows the conditions of Honduras C.A. in the early 20th century and how a man with his God changed people's lives and the primitive conditions within the country. It shows how a dedicated man and his family can survive primitive conditions and make a major change on the lives of others.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great perspective of the Honduras Mosquitia, November 9, 1999
By 
Ted Danger (Bay Islands, Honduras) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lighting the Mosquito Coast (Paperback)
This book provides an interesting account of the recent history of the Mosquitia Coast, and helped greatly with my research of the Legendary lost city of Ciudad Blanca. Taken from the autobiography of a missionary, it's an honest account of his families trials and tribulations. A must read for lovers of the Mosquitia.
