Synopsis

This book contains an extraordinary memoir written by Thomas Story, a Quaker minister, who chronicles his philosophical and spiritual journey from his early Anglican upbringing through his conversion to Quakerism. Born in 1670, Story was a man of his time; well-educated, and well-versed in the social, political, and intellectual currents that marked 17th century England. His story offers a unique vantage point on a turbulent period marked by the religious and political strife that characterized much of the late Stuart era. Story's deeply introspective work reveals a keen mind grappling with the fundamental questions of faith and morality that are relevant to all people. He recounts for us with uncommon honesty, humor, and humanity, the stages of his spiritual awakening, his moral struggles, his intellectual growth, his profound experiences of cosmic unity, and his travel experiences preaching his faith. This book speaks to those interested in the history of Christianity, the nature of spiritual awakening, and the struggle for authentic religious experience in the face of hypocrisy and cant.
