Description
-
This Moravian memoir recounts the life of Rudolph Strehle, born in Württemberg in 1712, who experienced a long spiritual struggle during his years as a soldier before finding peace through the Moravian Brethren and devotion to Christ’s suffering and grace. After formally joining the Moravian congregation in Germany in 1745, he immigrated to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where he worked faithfully as a mason and served the community in various roles, especially as a trusted night watchman during the Indian War years. Remembered for his deep faith, scriptural knowledge, humility, and joyful devotion to the Savior, he died peacefully in 1785 in his 74th year.
