Inhaltsangabe

This book is a self-published memoir by a Universalist minister describing his life leading up to becoming a minister and his subsequent decades as a traveling preacher. Beginning with his childhood in Quaker communities in Pennsylvania in the early 19th century, the author recounts numerous stories of his family, religious upbringing, education, and how he was initially drawn away from Quakerism by Universalist sermons. Leaving his home and family as a young man, he embarked on a journey of preaching to Quaker and non-Quaker congregations across the East Coast, experiencing hardships, controversies, and joys. His narrative incorporates his views on theology, particularly the belief in universal salvation, while giving an intimate glimpse into the life of a traveling minister during a period of significant social and religious change in the United States.
