Not Forgotten: Inspiring Missionary Pioneers remembers eighteen women and men, who lived to fulfill Christ's mandate: "Go and make disciples of all nations." Their breathtaking stories span two centuries and cross multiple continents. In order to share the Gospel, these missionaries faced perilous voyages, brutal wars, typhoons, and deadly plagues. You will meet a wandering Jew in Brazil, a tiny woman fighting human trafficking in China, teachers, doctors, a founding father, a soldier, and even a ventriloquist. Their lives will motivate you to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ more faithfully and to live for Him more fully as you see their bold faith in action: Gripping efforts to get the Gospel to the ends of the earth Stirring compassion for the lost and the destitute Perseverance in the face of unimaginable suffering Ordinary men and women empowered by our extraordinary God! God is calling people everywhere to be reconciled to Him through His Son Jesus Christ who died for sinners. These inspiring missionary pioneers dedicated their lives to proclaiming this Good News. Will you join them? Dr. David J. Brady has been a pastor for almost thirty years. He was born in Guyana to Southern Baptist missionaries, Otis and Martha Brady, and was raised in Belize. David and his wife Jennifer live on Shadowlands Farm in North Carolina with their animals. His first book The Gospel for Pet Lovers is a wonderful evangelistic resource. David has been active in supporting cross-cultural missions throughout his ministry. This book combines his love for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and his interest in the history of missions.

Ten Who Changed the World is seminary president Daniel Akin’s powerful tribute to the transformational work done by some truly inspiring Christian missionaries. With each profile, he journeys into the heart of that gospel servant’s mission-minded story and makes a compelling connection to a similar account from the Bible. David Brainerd (1718-1747; missionary to Native Americans) reminds Akin of Paul’s missionary life in 2 Timothy. The faithful ministry of George Leile (1750-1820; missionary to Jamaica) is aligned with Galatians 6. William Carey (1761-1834; missionary to India) lives out the Great Commission of Matthew 28. There are parallels between Adoniram Judson (1788-1850; missionary to Burma) and Romans 8. Lottie Moon (1840-1912; missionary to China) displays the power of a consecrated life described in Romans 12. The work of James Fraser (1886-1938; missionary to China) illustrates Revelation 5. Eric Liddell (1902-1945; missionary to China), his life documented in the film Chariots of Fire, illuminates Hebrews 12. Together, John (1907-1934) and Betty Stam (1906-1934; missionaries to China) embodied Psalm 67. William Wallace (1908-1951; missionary to China) was a shining example of Philippians 1. Jim Elliot (1927-1956; missionary to Ecuador) is a bold reminder of Psalm 96.

William Carey, often dubbed "The Father of Modern Missions," and Adoniram Judson, America's first intercontinental missionary, were pioneers whose missions overlapped in chronology, geography, and purpose. However, rarely are they both featured in the same volume or compared and contrasted. Here we have unique material by some of the world's leading experts on these two giants of missionary history, with perspectives on these men in ways never seen before. Especially relevant to this current age of World Christianity are the perspectives from India and Burma, the lands which received these men for their missionary enterprise.
