David Livingstone (Heroes Of The Faith)

Plot

To go where no missionary had ever been, to smell the smoke of unknown villages, to witness to people beyond the vast Kalahari-such were the dreams of David Livingstone. Best remembered as the recipient of Henry Stanley's understated query ("Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"), the humble missionary disdained acclaim during his lifetime. Born into poverty in Scotland and educated in medicine, he was first sent to South Africa in 1840 but quickly recognized the dearth of missionaries in the northern regions. From Angola to Mozambique to Victoria Falls, David Livingstone's life and writings would ignite the flame of faith in the Dark Continent.
