The Triumphs and Trials of an Ordinary Pastor During a Forgotten Era of Church History
D. A. Carson’s father was a pioneering church-planter and pastor in Quebec. He ministered during a transformative era for French Canada, navigating the harsh realities of persecution and imprisonment faced by Baptist ministers, and ultimately witnessing the spectacular growth and revival in the 1970s.
Through Tom Carson’s journals and written prayers, along with the narrative and historical background provided by his son, readers gain a firsthand account of the life of an ordinary pastor during a pivotal era in North American church history. With words that will ring true for every person who has devoted themselves to the Lord’s work, this unique book serves to remind readers that though the sacrifices of serving God are great, the sweetness of living a faithful, obedient life is greater still.
Biographical: Includes journal entries, written prayers, and the narrative and historical context of Tom Carson’s life
An Unexplored Narrative: This story and era are largely unfamiliar to many in the English-speaking world
