White Queen of the Cannibals: The True Story of Mary Slessor of Calabar

Called to devote her life as a missionary, Mary Slessor traveled to Africa to teach the natives who soon called her "Queen of Calabar." While many missionaries died within months, this fiery mill worker from Scotland labored in love among the unreached tribes of Africa's Calabar region for thirty-nine years (1848-1915). White Queen of the Cannibals; The True Story of Mary Slessor of Calabar chronicles the exciting, challenging, and deeply touching true story of one ordinary woman whose trust in God accomplished extraordinary exploits for His kingdom and glory. "She is entitled to a place in the front ranks of the heroines of history, and if goodness be counted an essential element of true greatness, if eminence be reckoned by love and self-sacrifice, by years of endurance and suffering, by a life of sustained heroism and purest devotion, it will be found difficult, if not impossible, to name her equal." -J.
