A Shepherd's Story: From Shadows of Death to God's Glory

This remarkable book is the testimony of an itinerant evangelist whose only goal is to see people in India come to know his Lord and Savior. Through these pages, you will discover how a whole-hearted commitment to making Jesus known can overcome unimaginable obstacles, open the door to miracles, and provide God's wisdom in the absence of mentors and instructors.

India is home to 94 percent of the world's Hindus, and only 2 percent of its population call themselves Christian. Levon Canary Kom, born to a nominally Baptist, rural family, has been set aflame by God to share His truth and word wherever he might go. His passion has impelled him to press forward despite his lack of formal education and material resources. He describes himself professionally as a woodcutter, water carrier, wage laborer, and teacher of needy children, although as a self-taught English speaker, he also teaches English conversation and has taught in India's schools.

Kom is upfront about mistakes and regrets and unsparing in his Bible-based commentary about the social, political, and religious systems he observes. This book will provide you the opportunity to understand more about village life in India and how access to a Bible can shape a life where there is no church. You'll be uplifted, inspired, and challenged by this unusual story.
