''From Poor-House To Pulpit'' is a biography of the late Dr. John Kitto, written by William Makepeace Thayer. The book chronicles Kitto’s life, from his childhood spent in poverty and near-blindness in Plymouth, England, to his eventual rise to become a renowned biblical scholar and preacher. Despite his difficult upbringing, Kitto showed a remarkable aptitude for learning and a deep passion for the Bible. With the help of a local philanthropist, he was able to attend school and eventually became a teacher himself. Through hard work and determination, he continued to advance in his studies and eventually became a respected author and lecturer. The book is intended for a young audience and serves as an inspiring example of perseverance and dedication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
