Great individual

This shows how faith in God has developed one person to help so many others. Recommend this book to anyone who feels that they are not worthwhile that God has control over all things. Buy the book and pray for your own life in how it can be used by God

Great Stuff!

Great book, that is a well written factual account of a young man who became a Christian in an era where slave trade was rampant and the colour of ones skin had an impact on how an indivivual was treated. A must read, inspiring account of someone who had been through 'hell' in his short life, but came through stronger from the hardship -leaving his mark on the lives and hearts of those he came in contact with. An inspiration for believers everywhere, young and old of how a Christian should be, especially in these modern times which are fraught with anger, impatience and strife.

Samuel Morris - an incredible story

This book was recommend to me as a great story for teenage boys growing up in urban environments. It is a great story for any guy or gal and is a testimony of humble faith in a powerful God involved in the life of His people. A quick but powerful read.
