1. Mimosa, Who Was Charmed by Amy Carmichael (The best Christian book in history; no one who reads it can come away unchanged.)
2. Amy Carmichael of Dohnavur by Frank Houghton (This missionary, and the author of the best Christian book ever written, battled incredible pain and STILL wrote with such passion and joy!)
3. Bill Wallace of China by Jesse Fletcher (workplace faith primer)
And then read about the man who trained Wallace in:
4. Doctor in an Old World by Helen Thames Raley
5. Ten Years Near the Arctic Circle by JJ Armistead (the hunger of the arctic fishermen for Jesus will melt the coldest heart)
6. A Memoir of the Life and Labors of Rev. Adoniram Judson by Frances Wayland (Wayland is the man who wrote the textbook which trained every politician and economist in America from 1830-1880!)
7. Wilfred Grenfell: His Life and Work by J. Lennox Kerr (another work/faith primer)
8. Then and Now in Kenya Colony by Willis Hotchkiss (19th century missions in Kenya with 21st century solutions to missions on Wall Street.)
9. Hans Egede of Greenland by J.B. Schneider (what to do when your best intentions fail terribly, and how to get back up from unspeakable errors)
10. Fire and Sword in Shansi by E.H. Edwards (heartbreaking, but deeply moving!)
