Burnt Out for Christ


This is a biographical account of one of the greatest missionaries to North-east India, the SOG Fr. Constantine Vendrame SDB. He is popularly known as "The Apostle of the Khasis". He lived between 1893-1957. This book recounts his childhood, his early religious life and above all, his life as a Salesian missionary priest in India. He is responsible for the growth of the Church in this region of India and today he has become a missionary legend. The book also describes about the various missionary methods that he adopted which proved to be very effective and fruitful.

This book is meant to edify and inspire many other missionaries who are actively engaged in spreading God's Kingdom. The book has been translated into Khasi and is currently being translated into Italian.
