Description
-
Written in English, this document is an autobiographical religious memoir or spiritual life narrative recounting the early life and family history of the author and the author’s father, Jacob, who was born in 1700 and baptized in the Reformed Church. The narrative describes family hardships, the loss of parents during childhood, religious instruction, and the development of Christian faith. Like many Moravian spiritual memoirs, the text emphasizes themes of suffering, conversion, prayer, and salvation through Jesus Christ.
