About this book

Six more true stories of faith, told simply for young readers: a poor cobbler who gave India the Bible; a mill boy who walked across Africa and fought the slave trade; a Ugandan bishop who loved even a cruel ruler; a brilliant Indian scholar who rescued the widows and orphans no one else would help; a watchmaker who hid the hunted; and a runner who gave up the race. Ordinary people made brave by God — the second book of Brave for God.

William Carey was a poor man who mended shoes in a little English village. He was not clever in the way rich men were clever — he had left school early to work — but he had a hungry mind. While his hands stitched leather, he taught himself languages, one word at a time, from books propped up on his workbench.
