A great man, & humble servant of the Lord

Loved this book & the series by Janet & Geoff Benge! Everyone should read or listen to this book! David Livingston was a wonderful, hard working & humble servant of the Lord. One man or woman in God's hand can make a difference!

wonderful witness for Jesus!

David Livingstone is known for his exploration of the continent of Africa, making discoveries primarily in the southern nations. He named Victoria Falls and chartered the Zambezi River. He was passionate about abolishing the slavetrade in Africa and helped bring global awareness in the mid to late 1800's. He helped many African peoples with healthcare and healing of sickness and disease in many unreached tribes. Most of all he spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and saw many come to personal faith in Him. A heart touching true story of a man that gave his life for the people of Africa!

Dr. Livingstone, I presume?

That's all I ever knew about David Livingstone was that phrase. But, he was oh so much more. In one of the Benges' books a missionary states that they did not want to be a Veranda Missionary. David definitely wasn't a veranda missionary, he went as far as his health, finances and his dreams would take him and then he went further. I didn't even know that he had been married and that he had children, too. I am so glad that I got to know him better and that I learned to not be satisfied with the status quo, ever.

Great overview of his life.

This is a great overview of the life of David Livingstone. What an amazing life! What an amazing man!
