Sadhu Sundar Singh: Essential Writings

Sundar Singh (1889-1929), an Indian holy man, was raised in a wealthy Sikh family. At sixteen he left his home to live as a sadhu, or wandering holy man. His beggar-like existence, his intense devotion, his mystical encounters with Jesus, and his simple parables became the stuff of legends. His parables and meditations probed the essence of the gospel, calling listeners to awareness and compassion. When he disappeared during a journey to Tibet, millions mourned his passing. Charles E. Moore is a member of the Bruderhof Community in Elster Park, New York. He is the editor of Provocations: Spiritual Writings of Kierkegaard.
