When Henry Stanley (the famous journalist who went to find David Livingstone) was in Africa , he met a king named Mutesa. This king had started believing his tribe's Ugandan traditions about spirits and devils. Then some Arabs came through and Mutesa converted to Islam. When Mr. Stanley came and told Mutesa about God, Mutesa became a Christian and asked Mr. Stanley to get the English to send back missionaries so he and his tribe could learn more about God. Alexander Mackay was one of those courageous men who answered the call. (Summary by Esther ben Simonides) (4 hr 34 min)

I am always looking for new biographies from Christian history, and this one is a winner. I especially liked the chapters that tied in other eminent workers, and show how MacKay was one of many working in Uganda over a period of years that led to great changes in that nation. The book has some ups and downs but overall very interesting, and quick to get through. Enjoy!

A surprising and unexpectedly emotional book. While the language is not racially sensitive or ideal, it's not as bad as I was expecting giving the time the events detailed took place. The narrators were all great and I'd recommend this book for anyone interested in African Christian history, missionary work and Uganda in general.
