"C.T.’s life stands as some rugged Gibraltar – a sign to all succeeding generations that it is worthwhile to lose all this world can offer and stake everything on the world to come. His life will be an eternal rebuke to easy-going Christianity. He has demonstrated what it means to follow Christ without counting the cost and without looking back."
From the Foreword by Alfred B. Buxton, C.T. Studd’s co-pioneer in the heart of Africa
