When Henry Dowling arrived in Tasmania in 1834 it was still a British penal settlement. Constrained only by his obedience to the call of God, unsupported by any missionary organisation, he went to preach the gospel of free grace among the convicts. This booklet brings together for the first time the account of an eventful life with the gleanings of a vintage ministry, each in themselves a testimony to the riches of sovereign grace. First in a series focused on the development of Australian Particular Baptists.
