We treasure the arrival of this 2nd biographical volume about Virginia's famous slave preacher. Born into bondage in 1812, Jasper knew well what it was to "bear the yoke" in the hot summer fields of the South. Any black man of that era bore a tremendous burden; but if ever a man would have been justified to grow bitter with life, John Jasper was the man!
Cruelly treated by many, he loved both his own race and the white race, and with nobility embraced the forgiveness of the gospel. Rather than become bitter, Jasper's view of life was: After what Christ had done for him, how could he do otherwise? What an example! An inspiring story of an uncomplaining man, a hero of immense faith, to be imitated by all: who suffered injustice as Christ did and preached the gospel as his answer to injustice.
