Publisher's summary

While many missionaries died within months, this fiery mill worker from Scotland labored in love among the unreached tribes of Africa's Calabar region for thirty-nine years (1848-1915).

This best-selling missionary biography series—Christian Heroes: Then & Now—chronicles the exciting, challenging, and deeply touching true stories of ordinary men and women whose trust in God accomplished extraordinary exploits for His kingdom and glory.

Forward March

Mary Slessor endured sickness, frustration, sadness, bullying, and torture in her lifetime. She stood strong in the face of danger.


I want to be just like Mary Slessor!

Devotion

Beautiful story of Mary and her love for the Calabar people. She did what other missionaries wouldn’t dare do. She reached the people because she lived as them, loved them, and shared Christ with them.

Amazing missionary story

Mary Slessor lived an outstanding life, punctuated by bold faith, powerful love, creative thinking, and quick action. The narrator was engaging and I enjoyed listening to this book while doing things at home, while driving, and even just while relaxing with a cuppa tea.

Great story!

This story was inspiring and a delightful listen. The life of Mary is full of ups and downs, far away adventures and still relatable to my life. The author has a lovely voice and was able to put a lot of life into her reading. Loved the accents she does. Overall I highly recommend this!
