Description: David Livingstone's complete story: the story of a man of great faith, fallen in his humanity but driven by his belief in the sanctity of God's creation. The quest for the source of the Nile will forever be associated with Livingstone, along with his adventures in the name of scientific ambition, but not to be overlooked is the Christian faith that drove his efforts to abolish the slave trade in Africa.
