Mary Jones: The Girl who Bought a Bible and Changed the World

from The Incredible Journey · host Gary Kent

Wales is a fascinating country with a long history, language and culture, and in the rugged beauty of the Welsh countryside, amidst rolling hills and verdant valleys, a child was born who would unwittingly change the course of Christian history. In 1800, Mary Jones walked 42 kms (26 miles) from her home in Llanfihangel-y-Pennant across the Welsh hills to Bala to buy a Bible in her own language. This action would unwittingly change the course of Christian History.
