Cowboy Boots In Darkest Africa

Whatever life was for Evangelist Bill Rice--it certainly was not dull. Born and reared in the cattle country of West Texas, he was breaking wild horses at the age of  thirteen...orphaned in his teens...worked his way through Baptist college in Texas...Moody Bible Institute in Chicago...rapidly became a nationally-known evangelist, conducting revival campaigns from coast to coast and across the waters. Although a full-time evangelist, Rice found time to hunt big game in Africa, become an experienced airplane pilot, and--between revival engagements--work as a cowboy on the Bill Rice Ranch in Tennessee, a camp for deaf and hearing. With two Bibles, two six-guns, two cameras and accompanied by two white companions, Rice plunged into an uncharted African jungle where pygmies were located and missionary contact established. This is one of the few pygmy churches in all the world. He was one of the last Americans to visit the late King Abdullah of Palestine before the monarch was murdered. The "Bearded Lion of Judah" was so fascinated with the evangelist (who told him he would surely go to Hell if he did not receive Christ as Saviour!) that he made him a present of two of his finest Arabian horses! Dr. Bill Rice's colorful storytelling will keep you on the edge of your seat as you read about his unusual exploits all around the world.
