that its author, having had access to the family and Grenfell
Associations' documents, and having spent some time on the Coast, has
given us an accurate and understanding account of the life of one whose
name will always be remembered as one of the great missionaries, and
wherever the quality of mercy is recognized." Numerous hospitals and
services were introduced to Labrador by Grenfell, an amazing man,
"Grenfell met with opposition from governments and from unscrupulous
traders who exploited the fishermen. This biography tells of his struggle
against them, and against poverty, disease, and the harshness of a barren
land in sub-arctic seas. It is the story of man who aspired to live as
Christ lived. Grenfell loved adventure, but above all he loved people. "
