Father Mercer: The Story of a Baptist Statesman (James N. Griffith Series in Baptist Studies)

Father Mercer tells the story of the life and labors of Jesse Mercer, a leader in Georgia Baptist life during the first half of the twentieth century. Yet, rather than telling the story of a larger-than-life pastor with whom few "ordinary" pastors can identify, the books reveals how one who is faithful in small things can, over time, bear much fruit for the Lord.
