From a cobbler's shop in rural England, William Carey went on to become renowned as 'the father of modern missions'.
Driven by a burning desire to make Christ known, he spent the last forty years of his life in India. Despite his lack of education and many hardship (including the long-term depressive illness of his first wife Dorothy and the deaths of three children), he learnt several languages, translated the Bible, preached the gospel, administered a mission organization, and campaigned against evils in society.
Carey's example has inspired many to become cross-cultural missionaries. This biography highlights the vision of God that motivated him, and challenges us to recover his sense of mission to the whole world.
Timothy George (PhD, Harvard University) is the founding dean of Beeson Divinity School of Samford University. An executive editor of Christianity Today, Dr. George has written more than twenty books and regularly contributes to scholarly journals.
