Scandalous Saint: A True Story of Perilous Escapes and Dramatic Miracles

"Where to next?" Jerry asked. It was customary on each mission to drop Gospels into as many villages as their supply would allow. Before John Eils could reply to the question, both men were petrified by a sound every pilot dreads. The engine missed. The smooth rhythm all too quickly changed to rough sputtering. Both men stared in silence at the complex instruments and controls. The altimeter was spinning like a roulette wheel.

Scandalous Saint is the harrowing true story of missionary pilot John Eils, whose exploits in Mexico in the late 1950s read more like the script of a Hollywood movie.
