Bookroo's summary
William Carey stands on the dock, watching his ship sail away without him. Desperate to reach India, he embarks on a journey filled with trials and triumphs. As the 'father of modern missions,' Carey's unwavering resolve to spread the gospel leads him through a life of sacrifice and service. Will his determination be enough to overcome the challenges ahead?
From the publisher
William Carey watched from the dock as the magnificent sailing ship headed for the English Channel without him. Tears filled his eyes, and deep disappointment filled his heart. What would he tell the missionary society? So much work awaited him half a world away. He must get to India - and soon! William’s amazing journey to India would prove to be just the beginning of a missionary quest filled with hardship and heartache as well as tremendous victories. Often referred to as “the father of modern missions,” William Carey displayed a single-minded determination to set his face like a flint to the task of bringing the gospel to those lost in darkness. His life of service and sacrifice is a guidepost to Christians of all generations. (1761-1834).
