To a Different Drum

“As I was tearing up the road with the accelerator pushed to the floor, familiar landmarks flashing by me, a kind of mad exhilaration possessed me. I had neither the time nor the inclination to reassess things now. I just wanted to reach my destination…”

Kicked out of college and hooked on drink and drugs, Pauline Hamilton drove recklessly towards a cliff near her home to end it all. At the last moment, her tire blew out, leaving her stunned in the stationary car.

Pauline’s life changed forever. She turned at once to the God who had rescued her and, in grateful amazement, offered her whole life to Him. This dedication would eventually take her to China and over 30 adventure packed years as a missionary. Through many trials Pauline never lost sight of the God who had promised never to let her go.

To a Different Drum is Pauline’s autobiography. First published in 1984, we’re pleased to present this new edition from 10Publishing, with an afterword from OMF worker Alex G Smith, completing Pauline’s story.
