Book Overview
The extraordinary story of the young African who came to be called "The Apostle of Simple Faith."While most missionary biographies detail the lives of Western missionaries, this is the story of the African missionary that God called to the United States when slavery and segregation were a way of life. Previously published under the title The March of Faith, this book details the moving life story of Samuel Morris.After a miraculous escape from certain death during the ravages of intertribal warfare in Liberia, Africa, Kaboo was converted to Christ by Methodist missionaries and baptized under the name Samuel Morris. Traveling to America for pastoral training in the late 1880's, his trip was a missionary voyage in itself when several seamen were lead to Christ through his godly life. At Taylor University his example of faith made him a leader among the students and a challenge to the faulty.An unforgettable biography which shows Christ's love felling all racial barriers.

This shows how faith in God has developed one person to help so many others. Recommend this book to anyone who feels that they are not worthwhile that God has control over all things. Buy the book and pray for your own life in how it can be used by God
Great Stuff!

Great book, that is a well written factual account of a young man who became a Christian in an era where slave trade was rampant and the colour of ones skin had an impact on how an indivivual was treated. A must read, inspiring account of someone who had been through 'hell' in his short life, but came through stronger from the hardship -leaving his mark on the lives and hearts of those he came in contact with. An inspiration for believers everywhere, young and old of how a Christian should be, especially in these modern times which are fraught with anger, impatience and strife.
Samuel Morris - an incredible story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book was recommend to me as a great story for teenage boys growing up in urban environments. It is a great story for any guy or gal and is a testimony of humble faith in a powerful God involved in the life of His people. A quick but powerful read.
