From Death Into Life or, Twenty Years of My Ministry

The author, a parish priest, recounts twenty years of ministry that move from severe illness and outward churchmanship to a profound spiritual awakening and active evangelistic work. He describes ordination, building and furnishing a parish church, liturgical practices, and a shift from formal religiosity toward gospel-centered conversion and sanctification. The narrative traces cottage, open-air, and drawing-room meetings, missions in multiple locales, personal pastoral cases, opposition and secessions, and eventual removal, while reflecting on the contrast between mere ecclesiastical observance and transformative spiritual fruit in the salvation of souls.
