Born in a Cornish mining village in 1794, Billy Bray lived for years as a drunken, reckless miner—until one night in 1823 when the grace of God broke through his darkness and made him a new man. From that moment on, he could not stop talking about his Saviour. His joy was contagious, his faith unshakable, and his voice could be heard ringing through the mines and the chapels of Cornwall: “I am a son of a King!”
The King’s Son tells the remarkable true story of how divine grace transformed a coarse, poverty-stricken miner into one of England’s most joyful and beloved evangelists. With humor, humility, and an unquenchable love for Christ, Billy Bray built chapels, lifted the downcast, and filled Cornwall with songs of praise. His story has inspired believers for generations to live and rejoice in the reality of redemption.
