, to include greater respect for the mindset and strengths of the Indian character in their work.

This effort to contextualize Christianity for India was the subject of his seminal work, "The Christ of the Indian Road" (ISBN 0-687-06377-9), which sold more than 1 million copies worldwide after its publication in 1925.

He is also the founder of the Christian Ashram movement. He is sometimes considered the "Billy Graham of India".

Writings

A unique feature of some of his books (eg, "Abundant Living", ©1942) is that while they could be read from beginning to end as normal, they were presented in the format of a page-a-day daily reading featuring a Bible reference, a page of his writing, and a concluding sentence or phrase for meditation.

These are the British publishers' titles; American titles may be different.
