"This book fills a critical gap in the history of Russian and
Baltic Methodism by documenting the life and ministry of its first
missionary and chief organizer, George A. Simons. The Methodist
movement owes a huge debt of gratitude to S T Kimbrough, Jr., for
his painstaking work of reconstruction and interpretation. Both
inspirational and informative, this fine study deserves a wide
readership among those who care about the past, present, and future
of Protestantism in Eastern Europe."
--Dana L. Robert, Truman Collins Professor of World Christianity
and History of Mission, Boston University School of Theology
"Dr. Kimbrough's meticulous research is a valuable contribution to
our understanding of the origins of the Methodist Mission in Russia
and the Baltic States, and should spur further analysis of the
development of these churches and the changing social environments
in both the United States and Russia that shaped their
ministry."
--Robert Hunt, Southern Methodist University
