Step into the shoes of a shoe–maker and see where God leads…
Coming from a working class background you might not have expected William Carey to impact the world but God had other plans. this shoe–maker became the father of today’s missionary movement.
William was an inquisitive child and keenly interested in the natural world around him. He was bright and intelligent enough to teach himself Latin and Greek. However, where young boys from wealthy families benefited from a university education William was apprenticed to a local shoemaker.
When William grew up, he was a husband, father, schoolmaster, preacher, pastor and missionary. He was one of the key individuals in 1792 to form The Baptist Missionary Society. His great passion to bring the gospel to other lands also led him to India where he used his linguistic talents to translate the Bible.
The Trailblazer series collects great stories from Christians of the past and delivers them to the young people of today. This gripping and astonishing story from Linda Finlayson will challenge young readers to expect great things from God and attempt great things for him as William Carey did.
