Publisher's Summary

To know Christ and to make him known...

In Daws, you'll experience the convictions and passions that guided Trotman's life: his deep love of God's Word, his lifelong dedication to prayer, and his determination to live out the Great Commission.

One of the best books I have ever read!

This is a book that I wish every Christian in the world would read. This is a book that takes time to get through, but it is one that changed my life forever. I have read it multiple times now and I could not recommend it any more than I do!

Inspiring story

I got converted in Romania through two couples that were formed in a Navigators environment.
I was started in Christian living by learning by heart verses that were essential to growth.
It was illuminating to see the dynamic life of the guy who started all.
To see how the B rations appeared (that nourished my new life in Christ) at 40 years after the "inventor" died.
His life and legacy were God ordained.
Grateful for a man like him.
I was reminded of the importance of investing deeper in few that will reproduce rather than spreading thin in ministry.
Good pace for the narrator.
A full book.

Moving book on World Vision

This is an excellent exposition of the life of Dawson Trotman. I have it ***** because of the details and chronology that made it easy to follow Dawson’s life and ministry to others.

There are a few sections where the voice of the reader clearly changes but it is far more easy to listen to than some other reads whose readers are very soft.

Modern day Paul

This was a very inspiring book. He had true God given drive, desire and determination. We need more Christian leaders like him.

Important, but tedious at times.

This is an important book for its inspiring biography there should cause us each to do more for Christ ; but it's style is tedious.
