What is Ken Pike : scholar and Christian about?

Ken Pike: Scholar and Christian, a biography of linguist Kenneth L. Pike, written by his sister. She describes how scholarship and deep faith in God have been the basis for her brother's many achievements.

Throughout his career he has manifested a gentle modesty rare to his profession...redoubtable in controversy but respectful toward his adversaries, poet and teacher of composition, he approaches the ideal of the Christian gentleman in his work and in his life...
