This inspiring biography tells the remarkable story of Samuel Crowther, a former slave who went on to become one of the most important and influential figures in the history of the Christian church. Born in what is now Nigeria, Crowther was captured as a child and sold into slavery, but he never lost faith in his God or his own potential. After being freed, he went on to become a pioneering missionary in Africa, spreading the gospel and building schools and churches throughout the region. This book is a testament to the power of faith, perseverance, and the human spirit, and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Africa or the Christian church.
