Marshall Keeble was a remarkable preacher of the gospel. His story is one we need not forget.
Born in 1878 to slave parents, Keeble never attended college. Yet he became well educated in the Scriptures and preached the gospel around the world -- in dance halls, tobacco warehouses, log cabins, lumber sheds, brush arbors, the bush country of Africa, and palatial air-conditioned municipal auditoriums.
Perhaps the best-known member of the church of Christ from the 1930s to the 1960s, Keeble transcended racial boundaries in a way few others have been able to do. Keeble baptized more than 50,000 people before he died in 1968.
Roll Jordan Roll is Keeble's incredible story.
