$5.00 10/$40.00 25/$75.00

Summary
"Expect great things from God! Attempt great things for God!" Undereducated, under-funded, and underestimated, William Carey overcame a plethora of tribulations and mastered dozens of languages to bring the gospel message to India. Disease plagued his family, poverty never left him, and it was nearly a decade before the Hindi population began to show signs of acceptance—yet his ability to plod ahead and boldly pursue his ministry vision make this issue of Christian History & Biography an informative and inspiring read.
