Life of William Carey, Shoemaker and Missionary

About this book

George Smith's biography tells the story of William Carey, an English shoemaker who became a Baptist missionary in India and a pioneer of modern Protestant missions. It follows his call, the formation of the Baptist Missionary Society, and decades of preaching, translation, education, and perseverance in Bengal. Carey's obscure beginnings and patient endurance give the narrative its enduring force.
