description: Thomas Johnson and Charles Spurgeon lived worlds apart. Johnson an American slave born into captivity and longing for freedom--- Spurgeon an Englishman born into relative ease and comfort but longing too for a freedom of his own. Their respective journeys led to an unlikely meeting and an even more unlikely friendship forged by fate and mutual love for the mission of Christ. Steal Away Home is a new kind of book based on historical research which tells a previously untold story set in the 1800s of the relationship between an African-American missionary and one of the greatest preachers to ever live.
