"The Gardener" Pastor William Moore 1826-1906


Book Description

William Moore was born in England at a time when dark shadows of poverty, disadvantage and class distinction lay across the land - when to be born poor was a stigma, and justice, education and opportunity were not for the likes of him. But he had an inner strength and a desire to better himself, and along with like-minded men he began a journey that enabled him to use his considerable ability and intelligence and to develop his skills to a degree where he could demonstrate his true value and worth. And ultimately he was able to share with other men and women the rich treasures he had discovered on his journey.
