Life of William Carey: Shoemaker and Missionary (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781536976120)

William Carey was one of the most remarkable Christians in history -- a self-taught linguist, pastor, missionary, and visionary who paved the way for the modern missionary movement.

Born in England in near poverty and seemingly without any hopes of advancement, Carey was called by God to minister to his sheep. In Carey's case, the call came for ministering to the sheep in other parts of the world Struggling against the hyper-Calvinist mindset of his fellow pastors, Carey led the way to form the Baptist Missionary Society and volunteered himself and his family to pioneer the way to foreign missions.

In India, Carey laid the groundwork for almost all aspects of the missionary enterprise: evangelization, education, translation of the Scriptures, publishing, social and cultural influences. Along with his missionary team, Carey literally fulfilled his dream from his days as a shoemaker in England.

Expect great things from God --

Attempt great things for God.
