Christian Encounters: George Washington Carver!

Prior to reading this fine literary work - all I would have been able to articulate about the life of George Washington Carver was that he was able to find a lot of uses for peanuts.  As I read through this work though, that barely scratches the surface of who this man was.  He was a man who learned early on to overcome adversity and his hunger for knowledge carried him to great heights and continuously aided his effort to conquer the racial barrier that was so prevalent in the late 1800's.  

When I ordered this book from www.booksneeze.com, I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy it - and rolled the dice on this one.  I must say, though, that I really did enjoy reading about the life of George Washington Carver.  I was challenged by his hunger to learn; and inspired by his continual effort to show love and acceptance.  I would like to say in the face of similar challenges as GWC I would rise to similar heights, but as you read this work, you begin to understand that it is not simply him at work, but the spiritual realm working in and through this humble, teachable, and inspiring man.
