Robin was born in India, of missionary parents, in 1943, educated in India and later in England. In 1966, after university studies, he returned to India to be a missionary teacher of Bible and theology.
In this book he records how he struggled with the question of what use a missionary Bible teacher could be to India and its many needs, as he saw them. Together with his personal thoughts on this matter, he shares (in 14 chapters) the experiences of a number of Indian Christian friends, whom he came to know and respect, as they sought to bring benefit to India in a variety of ways by the practical application of their Christian faith and principles.
