Hungarian Summary:
A skót származású John Paton (1824-1907) kortársa volt Hudson Taylornak, C. H. Spurgeonnak és a bristoli Müller Györgynek a kimagasló modern kori hithősöknek. Életrajza egy bátor ember szinte állandó halálos veszedelmek közötti munkáját írja le. Az emberevőknek az új Hebridák szigetén is meg kellett hallaniuk az evangéliumot. John Paton szívét a Krisztus szeretete szorongatta, ezért hagyta ott a kényelmes európai életet, hogy élete kockáztatásával is segítse és terjessze a Biblia üzenetét a sötétségben élőknek.
English Summary:

Living among constant dangers and death threats, battling against illness and enduring great personal loss and sacrifice, John G. Paton laboured on and showed great love for the island peoples. He had the joy eventually seeing people come to Christ and living a totally transformed lifestyle.
