Note	Includes bibliographical references (p. 172) Vivian Redlich died as a Christian martyr in the second World War, in Papua New Guinea. The story of his life, as told by his much younger half-brother, is one of inspired service for Jesus Christ, mixed with genuine concern for the needs of others. It is in the best tradition of the stories of Christian martyrs, and rivals the stories of the martyrs of the early Church. In this work, Pat Redlich has gathered together a compendium of letters and other documents, and has bound them together with a rich and illuminating narrative that will keep you interested right up to the last page. As well as being the story of a brave Anglican missionary in Papua New Guinea, this work also gives us a glimpse of the lives of two women who shared the same fate: his fianc e and her friend. Their letters home, at a various times, but especially the two written letters from their jungle hideout, cannot fail to inspire us with their heroism and the story of their commitment to Jesus, and to the others whom they served.
