Part of the Miller series by Mildred A. Martin, Missionary Stories with the Millers contains 28 short stories about a few well-known and many unknown missionaries, mainly from the twentieth century. The location of each narrative is highlighted on a world map with each chapter heading, providing geographical context. Each account focuses on a single, action-packed incident from a missionary’s life and draws the reader in with fictionalized style. A brief historical note about the show more missionary closes each chapter.

Join Hudson Taylor as he tries to reach Chinese fishermen with the gospel, Dr. David Livingstone in his close encounter with a lion in Africa, and Gladys Aylward as she escapes the invading Japanese with 100 Chinese orphans.

My son enjoyed Bible smuggler David Bontrager’s encounter with a Communist Romanian border guard. “The Tiger Is Loose!” was my favorite. Jack McGuckin, a Jungle Aviation Services pilot, while flying solo, had to act fast when a caged tiger that he was transporting got loose in the airplane mid-flight.
