"Travel with George from the small town of Mexico, New York to college, seminary, and a long journey in 1898 to Bahrain in the Persian Gulf as a new and eager Christian missionary. He became the seventh member of the Arabian Mission. The Mission's goal--to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the homeland of Islam--became George's passion. After arriving in Bahrain, George embarked on the required one-year rigorous Arabic language training. He made tremendous strides in a short time. His friends and family knew his knowledge, skills, experiences, and fortitude held promise for a long, productive career. In 1899, George willingly accepted an unexpected reassignment to the mission station in Muscat, Oman. The married couple there needed to leave due to serious health issues. The mission house's repairs and the eighteen rescued slave boys in the mission's school needed healthy leadership. George's sacrificial service helped spare the married couple for an additional forty years of service in the Middle East. His coworker, who replaced him, failed to arrive as scheduled by several weeks. This situation created the perfect storm for George's modest but crucial heroism to show itself then, and now, in this full-length account of his short life."--Page 4 of cover.
