Exciting wonderful true story

This is a great book. Mary Slessor is very inspiring. She was just a little woman & God used her in a great way. The book is well written. It is very exciting.

THE "QUEEN" WHO BECAME A "SERVANT"

Despite the fact that Mary Slessor was a (humanitarian) servant and not a queen, this book gave a good account of her life (and service).Its pattern is concise and very direct. It is full of succulent stories: an enjoyable way of evaluating the life of this determined woman.I only wished that it is a bit more elaborated than it is. The highly summarized 208 pages would have made a dynamic 308 pages with ease. Still, Sam did a good job here. It is a fine book.

outstanding!

A wonderful story of a dedicated young woman. It is a true story of how one person can make an incredible change in a whole nation of people. Mary Slessor traveled into the heart of Calabar (Africa) to witness to the natives, canibals though they were! It is an inspiring book which tells of the hardships and joys that she faced from her youth on.
