Olaudah Equiano: A Man of Many Names

When Olaudah was ten, his world was turned upside down. Kidnapped into slavery,

Oladuah was forced to work for others. His life was no longer his own. Oladuah had lost everything. His country, his family, his freedom and even his name.







But although he was given other names by people who saw it as their right to own him, the ten year old boy eventually grew up and obtained his freedom. He claimed back his name in order to write his own memoir as part of the fight against slavery.







Oladuah Equiano may have been a child who lost everything, even his name - but he came to know the joy of forgiveness in Christ, and the true freedom that comes with trusting in Jesus' name.







The Trailblazer series collects great stories from Christians of the past and delivers them to the young people of today. This gripping and astonishing story from Emily Maurits will challenge young readers to know the same forgiveness and freedom in God that Olaudah Equiano found.
