George Bowen of Bombay Robert E Speer

This extensive biography by Robert E. Speer is the definitive biography of American missionary, George Bowen of Bombay. Few men have been such a living embodiment of the love of Jesus as George Bowen! Converted from atheism to Christianity through both the love and tragic death of a good woman, he relinquished his salary and rented rooms near a Bombay market where he lived frugally for forty years. Supporting himself by his income as editor of the Bombay Guardian, he tirelessly witnessed whenever and wherever he could to the transforming power of Jesus. Such was his devotion that he never returned to his native land. It is little wonder that he became known as "The White Saint of India."
