Sundar Singh was born a Sikh in 1889 at Rampur, Punjab, India. At the age of 14, after violently opposing Christianity, he was converted. He left India in 1929 on a missionary visit to Tibet and did not return. Sadhus are wandering "holy men" of India. Sundar Singh defied his Sikh family to become a Christian, and after they poisoned him and threw him out of the house to die, he rejected a post in the Westernized Indian church. Instead, he adopted the yellow robe and bare feet of a sadhu, traveling all over India and telling people about Jesus. He also traipsed over the Himalayas - barefoot - each spring at the annual thaw in order to preach in Tibet, a closed country where the lamas attempted to murder him many times. He was rescued each time by members of the Sannyasi Mission, a clandestine society of sadhus who were secretly Christians.--<a href="http://bit.ly/1QnZfwH">GoodReads.com</a>
