Josiah Henson (1789-1883)
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord. Ps 121:1-2

Back: Josiah Henson was born into slavery in Charles County, Maryland. As a boy, he witnessed the unspeakably cruel punishment of his father and was eventually separated from his entire family, except for his mother. Sold three times as a young man, Henson became a trusted, valued worker and overseer on the plantation, as well as a Methodist minister. When he was to be sold yet again, he managed to escape to Canada with his wife and four children. There he helped establish a self-sufficient Black community and trade school for other escaped slaves. He also worked with the Underground Railroad and traveled widely as a public speaker for the abolitionists. His autobiography inspired author Harriet Beecher Stowe in her development of the title character for "Uncle Tom's Cabin".

Gift of Grace Books was established to glorify God in thanksgiving for his abundant grace. 2 Corinthians 4:15 "All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God."
