GRIFFITH JOHN: APOSTLE TO CENTRAL CHINA

An enthusiastic congregation of some 200 filled Ebenezer Baptist Church in Swansea last November for a special service to launch this biography.
Griffith John has not been forgotten in his native Wales, even though he may have been overshadowed by other missionaries to China such as Hudson Taylor. This may be because his mission, the London Mission Society, is no longer in existence. If so, this new biography, the first in more than 80 years, deservedly redresses the balance.
