Required Reading for Ministers in Training

This simple, direct book about the life and work of William Carey can have a powerful effect on anyone preparing for ministry, but especially for those preparing for overseas/cross-cultural mission work. William Carey and others demonstrated a radical commitment to Christ and His Gospel by staking not only their lives, but also of their families, on it. How this man accomplished so much despite problems at home and opposition from without is a wonder. This text should be on the required reading list of everyone going into Christian ministry.
