David Livingstone: Courageous Explorer (Heroes for Young Readers)

Fascinated by the world outside his dreary Scottish mill town, young boy David Livingstone (1813-1873) read every science book he could find and dreamed of exploring unknown lands. When he grew up, he followed his dreams, becoming a missionary doctor in faraway Africa. There he ventured bravely into places no other white man had been, healing people’s bodies with his medical skills and reaching their hearts with the gospel of Christ.
