Overview

Dr. Frederick Baedeker, born in Germany in 1823, earned a doctorate in philosophy, became a successful business man and educator, then founded a high-class school in Weston-super-Mare, England, to where he emigrated, married, and settled into a prosperous life. But at age forty-three, Baedeker attended a series of evangelistic meetings about which he said, ""I went in a proud German infidel, and came out a humble, believing disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ."" Through aristocratic connections, God granted Dr. Baedeker unprecedented access to the horrible prisons of Czarist Russia, and at one point eighty-six-year-old George Müller laids his hands on Dr. Baedeker's head and ""separated him to the special ministry to the banished brethren, committing him to the loving care of our Heavenly Father."" Instead of enjoying the comforts of his upper-class position, Dr. Baedeker chose to spend his days and his personal wealth to visit the downcast and forgotten so that he might lift their chins with the hope of the glorious Gospel. Frequently in great need or danger, or facing opposition, he sought and found deliverance through prayer. These proofs of God's love and faithfulness are chronicled in story after story in this powerful biography. Originally published in 1907, the year after Dr. Baedeker's death, Dr. Baedeker and His Apostolic Work in Russia is an essential Christian biography. From the author, ""A life-work so signally exemplary in its long-sustained heroism for Christ, and so rich in spiritual stimulus, could not be allowed to pass unchronicled.""
