About this book

“What does it truly cost to follow Jesus?” you may ask. This devotional study brings you face-to-face with ten legendary figures who answered that call without counting the price. From William Carey’s decades in India to Jim Elliot’s ultimate sacrifice, discover the raw, apostolic faith that shook nations.

William Carey was born on August 17, 1761, in Paulerspury, Northamptonshire, England, the son of a weaver who later became a village schoolmaster. He was apprenticed to a shoemaker, educated himself through extraordinary discipline, mastered Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Dutch, and French while cobbling shoes, and became a Baptist minister in 1786.
