Come, my Beloved

Touched by the poverty he encounters in Bombay, self-made millionaire David MacArd establishes a seminary for Christian missionary workers, and in so doing shapes the fates of his son and grandson. The choices made by each generation parallel one another, distinctly marked by the passage of time--though the patriarch remains in New York, the second David becomes a missionary in India himself, while his own son, Ted, goes even further, opting to live in a remote village--and these choices come with unforeseen sacrifices. Nor does their religious journey necessarily mean any growing harmony with their surroundings--something that is powerfully brought home when Ted refuses to let his daughter marry across racial lines.

  • "Opening in Bombay in the 1890s, this book conveys vivid pen pictures of India, the cities, the villages, the interiors of Indian homes, rich and poor, the landscapes, the monsoons, the magnificent durbar during the Prince of Wales' visit, the Christian missionaries, and the warm-hearted Indian people. David MacArd, an American multi-millionaire, struck by the poverty and squalor of India, resolves to found a great theological school to train young men to go out as Christian missionaries. MacArd's son, David, goes to India himself to work directly for God there. David's son Theodore, not content with the usual work of a missionary, goes out to live in a mud-wall village among the poor. Each man comes one step nearer to the final achievement of spiritual success."
