Book Description

October 1985 Men Of Faith Series
The amazing story of a simple English cobbler who became a self-taught scholar of Hebrew and Greek, a botanist, a minister, and finally a pioneer missionary to India! His life became the model for modern missions.

Developed from letters and journals of William Carey, this challenging biography brings an understanding of the almost unbelievable sacrifices he made. The long and painfully arduous voyage from England, the primitiveness and grinding poverty of eighteenth-century India, the death of his wife and other family members did not detour Carey from God's call in his life.

Compelling missionary drama of the man whose lifetime of service became the standard for today

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Story!, April 6, 2000
This review is from: William Carey: Men of Faith (Men Of Faith Series) (Paperback)
Like thrilling missionary stories? Read about the inspiring and incredibly hard life of William Carey, Baptist "father of modern missions." If today's foriegn field gospel workers feel challenged and stressed out, they should pick up this one and read about Carey's nightmare experiences establishing a Christian foothold in India. The story of Carey marital problems is gruelling but his perseverance is inspiring.

Incredible. You won't be the same after reading it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Required Reading for Ministers in Training, November 25, 2004
By 
This review is from: William Carey: Men of Faith (Men Of Faith Series) (Paperback)
This simple, direct book about the life and work of William Carey can have a powerful effect on anyone preparing for ministry, but especially for those preparing for overseas/cross-cultural mission work. William Carey and others demonstrated a radical commitment to Christ and His Gospel by staking not only their lives, but also of their families, on it. How this man accomplished so much despite problems at home and opposition from without is a wonder. This text should be on the required reading list of everyone going into Christian ministry.
