Mary Slessor’s biography is an amazing story of selflessness, commitment, and determined progress. Following the lead of her hero David Livingstone, Mary served Christ in uncivilized areas of Africa, enduring hardships far beyond our cultured experience.

Author Sam Wellman captures Slessor’s life story in an understandable and enjoyable story format, covering early days through death, and years of hard work and loyal servant hood in between.

Mary’s experiences caused her to rely on the power of God to lead, communicate, train and even judge in tribal settings. Her efforts battled superstitions, alcohol, killings, and tribal traditions. Even when her health became poor, Mary battled on and was challenged to “real life” as she saw opportunities to further the cause of Christ.

Inspiring, challenging, and humbling, the story of Mary Slessor is recommended reading for youth and adults.
