    5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring story
    Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2025
    Format: Paperback
    I’ve been wanting to read more missionary stories for years, and this is a book I picked up at our (then) church home quite a few years back. To my shame, I never started reading it, so it prettied up my shelf (more like, taunted me from the shelf) for many years. Recently, I finally figured out how to fit biographies into my everyday life, and I’m finally almost through my backlog!

    This was such a great story! I’ve read a few books about missionaries in Central America, but this is one of the first ones I remember reading about someone in Mexico. I found the description of the terrain incredible, and also found the Beekman’s story inspiring. John’s determination to push on, no matter what, was incredible, especially considering his somewhat touchy health. The sacrifices they made and the trials the Lord led them through were also challenging and inspiring.

    If you’re looking for a solid, well-written missionary biography, I’d highly recommend you read this one. I did have to smile a little, as it talked about Wycliffe’s goal to get the Bible translated into quite a few different languages by the 21st century, and that’s obviously a bit dated now. Still, I found this book inspiring, and many of the things these people experienced are relatable even fifty years on from the events. A good read!
