C. T. Studd: Cricketer & Pioneer by Norman Grubb

I have just finished reading this book for the third time. The first time I read it, I was a new believer. The second time was as a new missionary in the Philippines. It continues to be one of the most impactful books on missions that I’ve ever read. Anyone interested in God’s global mission will love this book!

After surrendering his life to Jesus, C. T. Studd went from being a rich and famous athlete to a legendary missionary in China (9 years), India (6 years), and Africa (21 years), where he died ministering to the people of the Congo.

I cannot tell you what joy it gave me to bring the first soul to the Lord Jesus Christ. I have tasted almost all the pleasures that this world can give. I do not suppose there is one that I have not experienced, but I can tell you that those pleasures were as nothing compared to the joy that the saving of that one soul gave me.
