William Carey and the Missionary Vision

This book tells the heroic story of William Carey's passionate advocacy of world mission. While the details of his missionary work in India are familiar, what is less well-known is the earlier story of how almost single-handedly he put world mission at the heart of the church's concern for a fallen world. It is for this that he is often referred to as 'the father of modern missions'.
