About This Book
The narrative presents the life of a devout Christian woman who endures chronic physical suffering from childhood, experiences conviction, conversion, and sanctification, and receives a perceived call to ministry. It chronicles years of preparation, accounts of divine communication and a reported healing, and decades of gospel labor including camp meetings, mission work in cities such as Chicago and travel to California and the East, caregiving for an aged mother, and occasional poems and exhortations, emphasizing faith, dependence on divine power, and God's use of weakness for service.
