“And it was arranged, and the stories told by Father Dobey do sound like the South Pacific tales of Joseph Conrad – and of Robert Louis Stevenson and Somerset Maugham as well.  In this book, missionaries of the Society of St. Columban share space with cannibals, lepers, gold prospectors, and firewalkers.  And the stories about them are filled with humor, headaches, heartbreaks, and horror.  But what comes through most of all is the dedication and love that the missionary brings to his people.”
