Sundar Singh (Christian Heroes: Then & Now)

An absolutely wonderful story, beautifully written and beautifully narrated. I was inspired by the life of this follower of Christ and I’m going to hunt out some of his books now.

Once again, Janet and Geoff Benge have crafted a compelling and fascinating biography of a fellow Christian / follower of Jesus. This time it's of Sundar Singh. This book, like all those in the series, gives listeners a concise overview of the life of Sundar Singh, a preacher whose incredible experiences in and around Tibet and India force any honest listener to wonder whether they themselves may be a little too comfortable and whether that comfort may be a hindrance to the Gospel. (I'm purposely spare on details so that you can be surprised when you listen.)

Tim Gregory must be commended for his narrating. His skill as a narrator is so obvious in this series and especially in this selection. The use of different accents (Indian, English, Tibetan) makes this story and every one in the series fresh and fun with each listen. Well done!

The only possible downside to the series, this one included, is their fast pace may convey too few details for some or wade too shallow in the spiritual depths. I recommend such listeners let this series be an introduction to these amazing living testimonies. After listening, you can then find any number of additional books to fill in those missing details or to examine further the teachings of Sundar Singh and others.

The story will inspire and encourage -- AND even challenge -- you. Be blessed.
