Faithful Witness, The Life and Mission of William Carey,
by Timothy George

This edition is prepared not only as a stand alone book but also as a central component of a curriculum package to accompany the dramatic film Candle in the Dark.  As you read this book you will understand why those of us involved in the preparation of the Carey story have an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the opportunity to spend much time getting to know William Carey.  Indian scholar and theologian Dr. Ramesh Richards told me that he does not know of another life since the Apostle Paul lived so intentionally, a life demonstrating that when obedience to the call of God and service to Christ is paramount, then the cost is irrelevant.  Like the first generations of Christians, Carey was abysmally low in credentials, status, and resources, but he, like they, plodded on in obscurity to affect countless lives, alter social consciousness and change history.  Your will find he speaks most pertinently to us today a century and a half after his death.

William Carey's Serampore mission began two hundred years ago. So powerful was this example and influence around the world that Carey is hailed as the "Father of Modern Protestant Missions." The Serampore Community's task seemed impossible, yet they overcame many obstacles to make a lasting impact for God and brought the transforming power of the Gospel to multitudes of hungry hearts. Their experience provides valuable insight for any today concerned to see the message of Christ reach the world.
