I got this for the John Woolman Journal. It is a wonderful story of his spiritual journey in the 18th century. It is amazingly relevant for today, and I see myself experiencing the very same conflicts and resolutions of those struggles. He lived from 1720 to 1772 in the colonies, was of the Quaker persuasion and after becoming aware of the evils of slavery, led in the fight to end it among Quakers and, thereby, elsewhere. Really good writing.
