A Man Worth Knowing

$16.95

Publication Date: 12th July 2007

The story of a Canadian man who went from the poverty of a dirt farm in Northern Ontario where he went barefoot to school until after the first few snowfalls, to becoming the Assistant General Superintendent of the fastest growing Protestant denomination in Canada-a story that must be told. Genuine humility and a self-effacing nature characterized the life of R.A. Bombay. A genuine love of people seemed to be the driving force behind his ministry. This is not so much the story of one person, but perhaps more, the stories of the many people who came into contact with Dick Bombay.
