Mary Jones and Her Bible

Though not on my list, one book that I just finished reading is Mary Jones and Her Bible. It is about the contribution of a little girl in the founding of the British and Foreign Mission Society. At about age sixteen Mary Jones, having saved for six years, walked twenty five miles one way (bare footed) to buy a bible, in that they were so unavailable. Her love of the word of God was instrumental in the founding of the society. The book is well written with a vivid description of every event. The author is unknown. It is not a hard read at all and so I would recommend it to youth to read, but it is also inspirational for adults as well.
