From Savages to Saints: Cannibal Converts and Famous Missionaries (1906)
From Savages to Saints tells the remarkable story of Gospel work among the islands of the South Pacific, tracing how missionaries and native converts carried Christianity into places once marked by cannibalism, idolatry, tribal warfare, and deep moral darkness.
Through accounts of men like John Williams, Titus Coan, Pao of Lifu, and other pioneer missionaries, this book shows the transforming power of the Gospel in Hawaii, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, New Zealand, the New Hebrides, and beyond.
Originally published in 1906, it is a stirring record of missionary courage, sacrifice, native evangelists, and whole communities changed by Christ.
