Description
This memoir tells the life story of George Francke, a Moravian religious leader born in 1717 who died in 1802 at age 85. Written partly in his own words, it describes his deeply religious childhood, early spiritual visions, youthful struggles with temptation and “worldly” living, and eventual religious awakening. He studied in Copenhagen, drifted from faith for a time, then experienced a renewed devotion to Christ and dedicated decades to ministry within the Moravian Church.

The final pages describe his peaceful final illness and death, emphasizing his patience, faith, affection toward visitors, and longing for “eternal rest.” The memoir praises his long service to the church and presents him as a model of Christian devotion whose soul was joyfully reunited with Christ.
