John G. Paton, Missionary to the New Hebrides: An Autobiography (1889) is a memoir written by John Gibson Paton, a Scottish Protestant missionary who spent his life evangelizing the people of the New Hebrides, a group of islands in the South Pacific. The book chronicles Paton's early life in Scotland, his decision to become a missionary, and his journey to the New Hebrides. It also details his experiences living among the islanders, including his struggles to learn their language and customs, his efforts to establish a mission station, and his encounters with cannibalism and other dangers. Throughout the book, Paton emphasizes his unwavering faith in God and his belief in the transformative power of Christianity. The book offers a unique perspective on the history of Christian missions and the challenges faced by early missionaries in their efforts to spread the gospel to remote and often hostile regions of the world.
