William Carey

Description:

Out of his abounding faith, Carey always expected "great things from God" and that faith was not disappointed. His family, his possessions, his own life were offered freely. He was patient, persistent, stubborn and humble and faithful. The unsuccessful schoolteacher of Moulton developed into the translator, orientalist and college professor of Serampore. The shoemaker of Northamptonshire took the gospel to India even as the tent-maker of Tarsus did to Europe. It is at once a glory and a wonder that faith in God can so transform a man. - Back cover.
