Father Henson's Story of His Own Life

A mong all the singular and interesting records to which the institution of American slavery has given rise, wo know of none more striking, more characteristic and instructive, than that of JOSIAH HENSON. Born a slave a slave in effect in a heathen land and under a heathen master, he grew up without Christian light or knowledge, and like the Gentiles spoken of by St. Paul, without the law did by nature the things that are written in the law. One sermon, one offer of salvation by Christ, was sufficient for him, as for the Ethiopian eunuch, to make him at once a believer from the heart and a preacher of Jesus.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
