Newly ordained at age twenty-five, Henry Jessup made a life changing decision to join the foreign-missionary service of the Presbyterian Church. For fifty-three years Jessup was a missionary in Syria, and the incredible story is recounted in this two-volume autobiography. Spreading the Gospel through famine, drought, war, hostile governments, and sometimes primitive living conditions, Jessup's life and adventures in Syria are unforgettable. Volume one covers his work on translating the Bible into Arabic, his founding of the Syrian Protestant College, and his recalling of the Syrian Massacre that he witnessed in the summer of 1860.
