Description: This autobiographical memoir by Thomas Moore (born 1750 in Worcester) recounts his early life, education, and gradual religious awakening. Raised in the Church of England by a respectable merchant family, he lost his father at a young age and was carefully educated by Anglican clergymen. Although he later recognized sinful tendencies and worldly influences among his school companions, he was deeply affected as a boy by evangelical religious meetings led by Rev. Mr. Mansell in Staffordshire. A sermon emphasizing that “One thing is needful” left a lasting impression on him, even before he fully understood its spiritual meaning. These early experiences laid the foundation for the stronger Christian faith and spiritual convictions that later shaped his life.
