The Answered Call: The Dawn of Modern Mission

It costs no less than everything to follow God to an unknown place, to work with no guaranteed results and to put one's personal and family's security at risk. This is what happened to William Carey who, 200 years ago, obeyed God's call and went to India - setting the pattern for all modern missions. This book traces the growth of the modern misssion movement, focusing especially on the Baptist Missionary Society which this year celebrates its bicentenary.
