About this listen
Ten Years from Slavery: The Story of Bishop William Edward Fuller, Sr. is a powerful and inspiring historical audiobook that traces the extraordinary rise of a Black religious pioneer whose life helped shape American spiritual and social history. Written and narrated by his grandchildren—Bishop Andy Fuller Lewter, Rosalyn Lewter Aaron, and Tonya Lewter Gordon—this intimate family memoir brings authenticity, warmth, and lived experience to a story that spans Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and the early Civil Rights Movement.
Born in 1875 in South Carolina, just a decade after the abolition of slavery, Bishop William Edward Fuller, Sr. rose from the son of a sharecropper to become the founder of the Fire Baptized Holiness Church of God of the Americas, a movement that expanded across North America and the Caribbean. Through treasured family recollections passed down by his daughters, this audiobook reveals Fuller not only as a visionary faith leader, but also as a forward-thinking entrepreneur who believed true freedom required spiritual renewal, education, and economic independence. His legacy includes championing women in ministry long before it was widely accepted and building institutions that empowered Black communities during the harsh realities of Jim Crow America.
Produced and published by Audiobook Publishing Services, this immersive audiobook is elevated by producer Jack Lewis, who integrated subtle, cinematic background music throughout the narration. The sound design enhances the emotional depth of the story, creating a rich, movie-like listening experience that draws listeners deeper into each moment of resilience, faith, and triumph.
Ten Years from Slavery is an essential listen for those interested in Black history, African American religion, family memoirs, and the enduring power of faith and leadership. It stands as a moving testament to perseverance, vision, and a legacy that continues to inspire generations.
