Mourned by millions at his death, Sundar Singh (1889-1929) awaits rediscovery at the dawn of the 21st century. Though known in his lifetime as India's most famous convert to Christianity, that reputation is misguided, for Sundar Singh never accepted the religion as such but emphasized instead the life-changing starkness of Christ's original teachings. If anything, he was the ultimate heretic - an uncompromising critic of convention, and a scandal to the comfortable.

Leaving the wealth of his home at sixteen to live as a sadhu, or wandering holy man, Sundar Singh's beggar-like existence, his intense bhakti (devotion), his mystical encounters with Jesus, and his simple yet profound parables became the stuff of legends. No one who met him - including the thousands who flocked to hear him during two visits to Europe - was unaffected by this modern St. Francis.

Though hugely popular in India and Europe during his lifetime, Sundar Singh's writings have not been readily available to readers in the English-speaking world for decades. Now, with Wisdom of the Sadhu, a collection of anecdotes, sayings, parables, and meditations, his spirit has been brought alive for a new generation. Couched as they are in a distinctly Indian idiom, his teachings probe the essence of the Gospels with unusual freshness and offer insights of great depth and value to every serious reader.

Hi all, Sadhu Sunder Singh is my ideal personality. i love to read about his life. impressive messages about christian life. this book is really beautiful and blessing of God.

Really an inspiring disciple of christ of the 21st centuary.The way JESUS might have revealed to him and showed HIS love love might have pulled sadhu that he was called as Christ where ever he goes...Glory to JESUS that HE(JESUS) has raised such people trained like HIM,to live for HIM...I praise GOD for rasing Sadhu....!And spreading the gospel...Sadhu proved JESUS is in him and glorified JESUS too...!

With this book, I have been guided into a pure and extroridinary spiritual realms in which a really humble man had stepped with his faithful Master, Jesus Christ. Appreciate !

Sadhu's transformation began when he saw Jesus. Men led by the spirit are like wind. The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." John 3:8 Jesus is still called unconventional / not the Messiah by the Jews His follower the sadhu is also not fully accepted by the present day church.

the story of this Christ-believing sadhu is quite normal for anyone who abandons everything...his very life...and falls into the burning heart of Jesus. anything less...and i judge myself here first...is toying with the Fire.

I love the ways he approched to the five holy people practicing different exercising But Our Jesus gave us Freedom and made us Free from all these sort of Exercise

This book is something else i cannot put in words. God used this man greatly, and this is the level we should be living by and even more.

I like your books very much. And I have translated your book "The Wisdom of Sadhu" edited by Kim Komer in Russian. There are many people who interested in such clear biblical books. God bless all of you for such a noble work for the Kingdom of Christ!

Thank you so much for publishing this wonderful book of the life and teachings of the Sadhu, Sundar Singh, devout and faithful follower of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Years ago a Pastor gave me an old book about the Sadhu but it was written in Italian so I was so glad to find something in English. After reading this book I went ahead and orderd more copies to share with my friends in Canada and United States!
