To A Different Drum

"It is the finest missions autobiography I've read in the last 10 years." - Jonathan Carswell, 10ofThose CEO

“As I was tearing up the road with the accelerator pushed to the floor, familiar landmarks flashing by me, a kind of mad exhilaration possessed me. I had neither the time nor the inclination to reassess things now. I just wanted to reach my destination...”

Kicked out of college and hooked on drink and drugs, Pauline Hamilton drove recklessly towards a cliff near her home to end it all. At the last moment, her tire blew out, leaving her stunned in the stationary car.

Pauline’s life changed forever. She turned at once to the God who had rescued her and, in grateful amazement, offered her whole life to Him. This dedication would eventually take her to China, where she would serve for over thirty adventure-packed years as a missionary. Through many trials Pauline never lost sight of the God who had promised never to let her go.

Remarkable

The story of Pauline Hamilton will delight and inspire you. I found myself both laughing out loud and weeping as I read about how the Lord sustained her through many decades of ministry overseas, sickness, and many other trials. Well worth a read!

Inspiring yet Easy to Read

Written in a very easy to read and hard to put down style this account stays well focussed on God's leading and interventions throughout, creating a sense of wonder and excitement at the work that God can do in our lives. The story itself is remarkable, and is one of the best missionary biographies I have ever read. I think this book would challenge many to wonder what God can do in their lives too, whether on the mission field or at home. Not written in a gushy flattering style - perhaps helped by the fact it is an autobiography - and not complicated or hard slog in any part. Truly inspiring.
