Description
Karen Borg describes being born in Norway in 1768 and raised in a religious household. As a child she was deeply moved by teachings about Jesus and later joined the Moravian community at Christiansfeld for education. The memoir follows her spiritual journey, emphasizing humility, devotion, prayer, obedience, and service within the church. It also recounts important transitions in her life, including moving to other Moravian settlements and dedicating herself to religious work and communal life.

The closing pages praise her kindness, simplicity, faithfulness, and love for church worship. During her final illness she expressed sorrow at being unable to attend meetings and repeated devotional hymns and prayers. The memoir ends by saying she has now entered the “great congregation” in heaven and encourages others to follow her faithful example.
