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.
