5.0 out of 5 starsA Quality Work, An Unbeatable ValueJune 4, 2017
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
This book was free on Kindle. It contains an introduction, an overview, bibliography and biography. Then the journal is written in first person. I enjoyed this tremendously, mostly as a tool of education and inspiration. It is not necessarily high literature. It is more instructional and illuminating. As an individual who believes in Christian values, but struggles with certain matters of faith, I am continually drawn to the Quaker Religion. I have no Quaker friends or access to a local Quaker community. I depend on products such as this for education and inspiration. I am very grateful. Thank You...

5.0 out of 5 starsShould be required reading for Christian Formation Classes!November 26, 2013
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
Excellent classic book on missionary work and Quakers in the 18th Century. John Woolman was an early opponent of slavery and took every opportunity he could find to let his views be known. He was also an advocate for Native Americans and talks extensively about Native American culture in the mid 1700s. Very, very interesting. Instead of being scared off by "Quaker-speak', I found it refreshing, honest and clearly expressive of Woolman's love for the Holy Spirit. I recommend this book to anyone studying for the ministry and anyone seeking a closer relationship and understanding of how the Holy Spirit works in our lives...then, now and always.

5.0 out of 5 starsA fascinating and inspiring bookJune 7, 2014
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
I had never heard of John Woolman when I discovered through research that he was my first cousin, seven generations removed. He was a Quaker with a passionate commitment to equality, which led him to preach abolition of slaves to his fellow Quakers. The result was that the Quakers in turn became the leading force for abolitionism in the 19th century. Woolman's journal is long on a form of Christian piety not often seen at any time--a faith that understood the importance of living out the spirit of Christ in a world of exploitation and violence. He died only a few years before the American Revolution. I recommend his writing as something still very timely and inspiring.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat ReadJanuary 10, 2019
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
This book was amazing. The journal Woolman kept is interesting and useful not only for those of us interested in spirituality and the life of an itinerant preacher, but also for those interested in history, as it describes firsthand life in the 18th century. The print is a bit tedious in this book, but other than that, I fully recommend it.

This is an excellent example of how a Quaker brings his values and applies them to his own life to live with integrity. It is also a good reflection of the state of Quaker thought belief and practice at the time.
I find Woolman easier to read than Fox, not just be cause the language is a little more modern, but also because he seems more humble.
It is an Amazon freebie so I can't complain, but I miss the navigation tools that most new Kindle books have.

3.0 out of 5 starsTough readMarch 22, 2016
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
It was difficult reading because of the old English language style. I slugged through it anyway. Was interesting to read the ridiculous arguments that people of that era had for rationalizing slavery. Woolmark was a good man who opposed slavery.

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
The spiritual insights and messages are timeless. However, the language is dated and cumbersome to navigate at times (though at other times it is quite lucid). Particularly relevant seems Woolman's message that a lavish lifestyle or desire of worldly "things" in and of themselves lead to systems of oppression, a necessity for their sustenance.
