Sadhu Sundar Singh became an Indian Christian missionary whose life and message had a far ranging impact. Born into a Sikh family, Sundar grew up a faithful Sikh. When a boy, he converted to Christianity, incurring the rejection by his father. Sundar withdrew from a Christian seminary after refusing to cast off his Sikh clothing and wear Western clothing. That set the direction of his ministry, seeking to wear the clothing and speak the terminology of the Sikh while conveying the Christian message. Sundar's impact went far and wide, influencing important spiritual leaders, such as Mahatma Gandhi and C.S. Lewis.

She enjoys being with children and is also a Sunday School Teacher from last ten years.

The international Christian missionary press focused upon Sundar Singh's Christian message, even giving some attention to the Hindu, Sikh, and Buddhist terminology. His universalism message though received little or no attention from the missionary Christian community. His writings were widely published, revealing his view that so-called heathen Hindus, Buddhists, and Sikhs will go to heaven as surely as a faithful Christian. Sundar, reflecting on an international trip he made to the West during the 1920s, shared his view that many more Indian and Asian people have profound faith than those in the West. This book will help people know about Sadhu Sundar Singh and his teachings.

Known in his lifetime as India's most famous convert to Christianity. Sadhu Sundar Singh (1889-1929) would not approve of that characterization. He loved Jesus and devoted his life to knowing him and following him, but he never accepted Christianity's cultural conventions, even as he embraced its stark original teachings.

Sundar Singh left the wealth of his home at sixteen to live as a sadhu, or wandering holy man. His existence, his intense devotion, his mystical encounters with Jesus, and his simple yet profound parables became the stuff of legends. No one who met him- including the thousands who flocked to hear him during his visits to Europe, the Orient, and the United States-remained unaffected.
