Gateway to the Jungle: The Incredible Life Story of Jungle Pilot, George Boggs

by Glora Graham

George Boggs is a "people person" par excellence - and that is a rare achievement for a man trained to master something much less complex - machinery! The many thousands who benefited from his skills, especially on those wild tropical frontiers, know what I mean. Again and again George's ability to thread a radarless aircraft from one tiny gap in the cumulus to the next was some patient's only link with life. How often too did his wife Fran, a heroine of our time, count her heartbeats until George had landed safely? How often, finally, did the breakthrough that would cause the first congregation to flower in a new tribe depend upon George's judgment as a pilot and his compassion as an encourager! Gloria Graham's five-year labor of love has at last made this previously unsung couple's story available. Relive the adventure and absorb its wisdom.

This is the story about George and Fran Boggs and their life involved in the Christian Missionary Alliance working as missionaries in various places, usually islands in Indonesia. It highlights George the most and his time growing up, early marriage, his long wait to the mission field, and how he used flying planes to God's glory. It was pretty good, had a lot of photos included throughout it, and were mainly accounts taken from journals, letters, friends, their children, and themselves.
