Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of the Community of True Inspiration, a group founded by German religious figures Eberhard Ludwig Gruber and Johann Friedrich Rock in the early 18th century. Facing persecution and prosecution for their refusal to conform to state religious practices, the group was forced to seek refuge in the more tolerant province of Hessen and later relocated to America, establishing their first village named Ebenezer in New York in 1843. The book delves into their central belief in True Inspiration, where certain individuals spoke with the divine voice of God, and examines the challenges and triumphs they faced as a religious community. Through meticulous research and analysis of archival sources, the author reveals the group's struggle for religious freedom, their eventual adoption of communism as a way of life, and the profound spiritual experiences that shaped their identity. This book sheds light on the resilience and pursuit of religious freedom by a group of people who lived in accordance with their beliefs despite facing adversity.
