Book Description
In many ways, sacrifice is a prerequisite for obeying the Great Commission. When we examine the lives of "missionary heroes," we immediately notice their willingness to sacrifice comforts that contemporary believers consider necessities. One of these areas of sacrifice was in their love lives. In different ways, the three missionaries discussed in this book willingly gave up the opportunity of "true love" for the sake of advancing the gospel into unengaged areas. Embracing Christ's command to "deny oneself" (Luke 9:23), these believers gave up the chance of earthly happiness for the sake of heavenly reward.

Flannery O'Connor
Author: R. Neil Scott
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521828635
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 550
Book Description
Despite Flannery O'Connor's brief life, her work, comprising novels, short stories, essays, and articles, has had a great impact on American literature and to some extent popular culture, of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Her writing has become well loved, well read, and often studied. This book reprints complete book reviews and excerpts from review essays on the works of Flannery O'Connor that appeared in newspapers and periodicals during the author's writing life (1945-64) and after her early death. The more than four hundred edited reviews are prefaced with a substantial Introduction that situates O'Connor within the critical milieu of post-war American letters and Southern literary tradition, and provides an overview of contemporary critical responses to her collected stories, novels, and occasional pieces. An important resource for scholars of O'Connor and of Southern literature generally, this volume reveals much about her early reception and the continuing relevance of her work.
