Missions comes alive in this little book!
The amazing story of the father of modern missions. Traces his life from a simple English cobbler who became a self-taught scholar to becoming a pioneer missionary to India. His biography is fascinating. Here is a snippet: 'It was reading the stories of Captain Cook's travels that opened Carey's mind to the existence of other lands and peoples. The lives of David Brainard and John Eliot (missionaries to the Native Americans) gave him practical examples of cross-cultural communication. Growing in his Christian faith, he could only think of the spiritual needs of people who had never heard the gospel. Carey's original vision was to be a missionary in the island of Tahiti (inspired by Captain Cook's description). Then he and the other members of the missionary society met Dr. John Thomas, who had experience in India, spoke Bengali, and was looking for help. Carey and his friends felt that through this contact the Lord was leading them to return with Thomas and establish their mission in India. He was the first Baptist missionary of the modern era. Carey, William (1761-1834), English Baptist Bible translator, pastor, and father of the Serampore mission
