Amazing story of a man dedicated to God.

"I found a stone in a pool among the Himalayas. It was hollow, and when I broke it I found the center completely dry. So it is here in the West. You have lain for centuries in the water of Christianity, but it has never penetrated to your hearts". (page 141)

A remarkable book about a remarkable man. There is an area of India that has a very high percentage of Christians amongst the population. So far as I have been able to clarify, that's the main area that Sadhu Sundar Singh was most active, although he also travelled a lot. One of my heroes for over 40 years now.

Really an amazing story. Displays the transformative power of Christianity. A rather short book that didn't go into much detail, I think I will look for one that explores this man's extraordinary life more in-depth.

Interesting and different cultural setting for a biography.

An incredible biography. This just shows the power of Jesus over someone’s life and what happens when one really takes him at his word. Reading about Sadhu’s life is both inspiring and challenging.

I became interested in Sundar Singh while reading another book titled Kingdom Without Borders by Miriam Adeney, where she gives a brief summary on his life and mentions him being a Christian mystic. I have for the last year been interested in Christian mysticism, and have studied certain individuals who have been given the Christian mystic title. After searching for books on Sundar Singh, I ran into The Story of Sadhu Sundar Singh in the library at Multnomah University. Fascinating story! I learned a lot about Christian mysticism from the life of Sundar Singh, and hope to continue studying it in the life of other Believers. The story was amazing, the writing of Cyril J. Davey wasn't that great. I hope to continue reading about Sundar Singh in other books, and hope to read his writings on his visions and experiences.

The book, 'A Boat in Our Baggage,' got me interested in sadhus, the wandering "holy men" of India. Sundar Singh defied his Sikh family to become a Christian, and after they poisoned him and threw him out of the house to die, he rejected a post in the Westernized Indian church. Instead, he adopted the yellow robe and bare feet of a sadhu, traveling all over India and telling people about Jesus. He also traipsed over the Himalayas - barefoot - each spring at the annual thaw in order to preach in Tibet, a closed country where the lamas attempted to murder him many times. He was rescued each time by members of the Sannyasi Mission, a clandestine society of sadhus who were secretly Christians.

Very interesting story.

The book tells the story of Sadhu sundar singh, a christian transforming the church and many lives in India and beyond.

I read the book without putting it down once! It is written with a simple but beautiful language.
The story of this man is really inspiring!
