About this audiobook
Missionary biographies often inspire enthusiasm, zeal, and urgency for missions among God's people. But how do Christians give their lives to missions if they feel called to remain in their homeland? In 1792, British pastor Andrew Fuller formed the Baptist Missionary Society, an organization dedicated to the promotion of mission work both at home and overseas. In this concise biography, best-selling author John Piper introduces readers to this incredible Christian who-although he never served abroad himself-inspired the modern missionary movement that gave rise to such figures as William Carey and Hudson Taylor. Working tirelessly to raise funds for missionaries in the field and championing the importance of sound doctrine for fruitfulness in missions, Fuller stands as an example to all Christians eager to devote themselves to knowing, guarding, and spreading the true gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A very well composed book that loads a lot of theological truth into a short book. It is reasonable and practical and highlighted alot of my own beliefs and that which has been revealed to me prior to this, I can now define in more applicable terms.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This work does a great job of looking into not just the life of a great missionary, but the teachings of a great theologian.
