GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER : Man’s Slave, God’s Scientist
Collins, David R.
Mott Media, 1981
132 pages

Collins adds another Christian role model to the fascinating Sower series, nineteen biographies of history’s great men and women written for children. The series, organized by vocation, places Carver next to scientists Isaac Newton, Samuel Morse, Johannes Kepler and the Wright brothers. Carver, born a slave, emerged as one of the greatest contributors to Southern agriculture through his chemical discoveries and progressive philosophy of farming. “Without my Savior, I am nothing,” declared Carver. But with Jesus, Carver maintained, people can do an “uplifting work for humanity.” One of America’s great but unsung African American heroes is an inspiring example of Christian service.
