This book contains the story of a man who really did, as the title suggests, devote his entire life to Christ. It has inspired me beyond any other missionary biographies I have read.
However, it is not an easy read for two main reasons. Firstly, the book is very detailed and outlines every known fact of his life, as well as providing extensive quotations from his writings and those of his loved ones. Therefore it demands and deserves concentration from the reader in order to follow the intricate ups and downs, and remember the somewhat unfamiliar Burmese names mentioned along the way.
