The famous journal of John Woolman is a historic text which emblematically details the life of a Quaker missionary preaching against slavery in North America during the 18th century. This unabridged edition of the journal contains all eleven chapters, taking us through the memorable life of the spiritual and intrepid John Woolman, a Quaker who took it upon himself to spread the word of God throughout frontiers of British territory which had barely been mapped. Published almost 250 years ago, this book is today considered one of the earliest classics of American spiritualism. An early anti-slavery campaigner, John Woolman spent years convincing fellow Quakers not to keep slaves, having much success in these efforts. In later life, he would spread these efforts to Quaker meeting houses throughout England, to the point where by the end of his life, slavery had become widely opposed within the Society of Friends. He was also a strong proponent against cruelty to animals, and against economic exploitation and oppression, together with military conscription. Whether you are in search of spiritual guidance, or wish to learn more of the time and place in which John Woolman practiced, this journal is a fine and worthy read.
