William Tyndale: The Smuggler’s Flame (Trail Blazers)

Description

Mary Slesor had a shocking temper and fiery red hair. Brought up in a Dundee slum, her father was an alcoholic and her life was one of hardship and poverty. However, God had a plan to reach the head-hunting tribes of Calabar, superstitious in the extreme. Living in squalor and violence. So without her knowing it, Mary Slessor had spent a large part of her life in a training ground for mission. Mary’s training ground was a life in the slums of Dundee in the 1800’s. Many missionaries went to Calabar and ran back home—never to be seen again. Mary Slessor, however, blazed a trail to the very tribes to which every other missionary had feared to go. Courageous, plucky, impulsive, Mary Slessor’s temper was still notorious. It was said that even chiefs trembled when her eyes flashed. If you’ve ever wondered `What’s the point? What can I do?’ read this book and realise it’s not about what you can do, it’s about what God can do with you… and he can do anything.
