Description
Publisher's Description of Mary Slessor: Courage in Africa (Heroes for Young Readers)
While working in a cotton mill in Scotland, Mary Slessor (1848-1915) longed to be a missionary. When God answered her prayers by calling her to the unreached, often dangerous, tribes of Africa's Calabar region, Mary's faith, courage, steadfastness, and pioneering spirit were a brilliant example of the life and freedom found in Jesus.
