      Product Description

      ""The Measure Of A Man: The Life Of William Ambrose Shedd, Missionary To Persia"" is a biographical account of the life and work of William Ambrose Shedd, a missionary who served in Persia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Written by his granddaughter, Mary Lewis Shedd, the book chronicles Shedd's upbringing in rural Illinois, his education at Princeton Theological Seminary, and his journey to Persia with his wife and fellow missionary, Mary. The book provides a detailed account of Shedd's experiences in Persia, including his efforts to establish schools, hospitals, and churches in a country that was largely unfamiliar with Christianity. It also explores Shedd's relationships with the Persian people, his struggles with illness and isolation, and his deep faith and commitment to his mission. Through Shedd's story, the book offers insight into the challenges and rewards of missionary work, as well as the complexities of cross-cultural exchange. It also sheds light on the history and culture of Persia during a time of great change and upheaval. Overall, ""The Measure Of A Man"" is a compelling and inspiring account of one man's dedication to his faith and his mission, and the impact he had on the lives of those he served.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
