Memoirs Of Eliza Paul Gurney And Others

By Anonymous

Book Overview

In a quiet Quaker voice, Eliza Paul Gurney records a life of prayer, courage and costly obedience. These quiet pages still speak. Drawn from personal reminiscences, letters and reflections, Memoirs Of Eliza Paul Gurney And Others offers a deeply humane portrait of the inner spiritual life that shaped one of the nineteenth century's notable women of faith and the circle of Friends around her. Moving between intimate self-disclosure and classic Quaker testimonies, this is both christian spiritual memoirs and quaker religious biography: a window into how nineteenth century Quakers wrestled with calling, conscience, suffering and joy. The volume situates Eliza's story within the wider world of British and American Quakers familiar to readers of Joseph John Gurney biography and other 19th century faith writings, making it richly suited to devotional reading collection, quiet reflection, or serious christian biography study. Its restrained, sincere tone and firm sense of the eternal give it a rare, enduring warmth. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, returning an important voice to the history of women of faith and to the living tradition of Christian devotion.
