Peter Vickers, the Bookworm and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"James Gilmour of Mongolia: His Diaries, Letters, and Reports" by James Gilmour is a collection of personal writings, including diaries and letters, detailing his experiences and missionary work in Mongolia, written in the late 19th century. The book offers an insightful perspective on the life of a dedicated missionary who devoted himself to the evangelization of the Mongolian people amidst the challenges he faced in a foreign land. This work traces Gilmour’s emotional journey, capturing his struggles, triumphs, and deep faith as he navigates a culture deeply rooted in Buddhism and a way of life that is vastly different from his own. The opening portion of the book begins with an introduction to James Gilmour's early life and education, highlighting his supportive family background and strong religious upbringing. It covers his formative experiences, his time at Glasgow University, and his decision to become a missionary, spurred by his desire to serve God and fulfill what he saw as his calling. As he prepares for his journey to Mongolia, Gilmour reflects on his motivations and faith. The narrative conveys his initial apprehensions and hopes, setting a tone of earnestness and determination as he embarks on the journey that would define his life's work. The blend of insight into his spiritual convictions and details of his academic and personal struggles provide a well-rounded introduction to his character and mission.
