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 for Christians of all generations.

William Carey was a cultural and spiritual revolutionary. In this book, you'll learn English, Dutch, French, and Indian history. You'll learn about how the "Father of Modern Protestant Missions" labored tirelessly for gender-equality, religious tolerance, science, and education -- all in addition to evangelism, preaching, and starting churches. You'll also hear stories of unbearable heartache and the faith that overcomes such obstacles. Christians and non-Christians alike owe it to themselves to see how the life and legacy of William Carey stands out as a shining example of cultural and religious transformation.

The audio is a little weird. But overall a great book. The reader does a good job but the audio quality is a little lacking.

Great Book and reading.

"Expect great things from God, achieve great things for God!"
Though there are many, many things I question about William's actions, God redeemed them all for His Glory! Grateful that God works, even in our flawed human weaknesses.

Good!
