Customer Reviews

An awesome story. A must read for any Christian.

It seems, from time to time, the Lord touches a person on Earth with a special annointing. Kaboo,aka Samuel Morris, was one of those people. This young boy had a tremendous impact on many people-though his life spanned only twenty years. His influence is still felt. Personally, I have been led to write about this young man in two different novels I am writing. The hero is one of the books is patterned after Sammy, to a certain degree. Terry Whalin kept this book true to Sammy's character, unassuming, to the point, and focused on the Lord. My goal is that every believer will read this story and allow the spirit of Sammy to guide them to a place where they let the Spirit of God lead them in their journey. More importantly, if you're not a believer, you might become one before you're finished. That power for conversion was Sammy's legacy. Donald James Parker

Samuel Morris: Missionary to America(Heroes of the Faith)

Very well written and easy to read. It was inspiring and made me think about my own walk with the Lord.

Compelling

This is the story of a young man who survived a tribal conflict by the hand of God, before he even knew Him. After finding out who Jesus was, Sammy, through simple faith and the love of Christ, changed the world around him. He was an African who came to America in the 1890's, to find out more about the Holy Spirit. But he taught more than he learned. If you don't believe that the love of God is the strongest force there is, you need to read this book. Everywhere Sammy went, he changed lives, dissolved prejudice and inspired Christians to live a more truly God-filled life. He was a prime example of how to be a living Bible.

Everything is possible with Faith

Samuel Morris : The Apostle of Simple Faith is simply written and convey the Christian faith to the reader. While reading this book, one feels living in Samuel Morris' era. The book makes you forget that this young African was living in the time when slavery was so deep in this country. Yet, Samuel Morris became the common denominator for both white and black people. His faith saved Taylor University. It is sad that he died so young and so full of promises. Jesus couldn't have a better disciple than this young man.

Great book on simple faith and prayer.

I was crying all the way through this book as GOD saved and walked with this man. Great book to pull your heart strings. Simple and easy to read.
