Description
Mary Slessor: Servant To The Slave
Trail Blazer Series
By: Carine Mackenzie
Mary Slessor had a shocking temper and fiery red hair. Brought up in a Dundee slum, her father was an alcoholic and her life was one of hardship and poverty. However, God had plans. His plan was to reach the headhunting tribes of Calabar, superstitious in the extreme, living in squalor and violence. What would prepare someone for a life like that? Without her knowing it, Mary Slessor had spent a large part of her life in a training ground for mission. Mary’s training ground was a life of violence, poverty and squalor – a life in the slums of Dundee in the 1800’s.
Many missionaries went to Calabar and ran back home- never to be seen again. Mary Slessor, however, blazed a trail to the very tribes to which every other missionary had feared to go. Courageous, plucky, impulsive, Mary Slessor’s temper was still notorious. It was said that even chiefs trembled when her eyes flashed.
If you’ve ever wondered “What’s the point? What can I do?” read this book and realize it’s not about what you can do; it’s about what God can do with you . . . and he can do anything.
