Father Of Faith Missions The Life And Times Of Anthony Norris Groves (1795 - 1853)

He and his family followed God's call to Baghdad and India leaving their comfortable English lives behind. Though he doubted his success as a missionary Groves' character and ideas shaped the people who followed him as he followed Christ.Exhaustively researched Father of Faith Missions is not merely about the life of one missionary but also a record of Groves influence on missionary initiatives and the Brethren movement. Drawing upon Groves own journals and letters in addition to copious scholarship this book is both a journey into history and a reminder that God's faithfulness is as true now as it was then.Dann, Robert Bernard is the author of 'Father Of Faith Missions The Life And Times Of Anthony Norris Groves (1795 - 1853)', published 2004 under ISBN 9781884543906 and ISBN 1884543901.
