About This Book

A devotional biography follows the spiritual life and pastoral labors of a fervent parish minister who chooses active ministry in a rough industrial community over comfortable preferment. It traces childhood and formation, friendships with notable evangelical contemporaries, marriage and college years, induction to a challenging living, and long efforts to reform miners and ironworkers amid opposition and failing health. Chapters compile sermons, letters, and selected writings to illuminate themes of sanctification, pastoral care, personal sacrifice, and practical piety, showing sustained evangelical zeal expressed through preaching, pastoral visitation, and enduring correspondence.
