1830 - The Spiritual Memoir of Joanna Turner
This second American edition of the Memoir of Mrs. Joanna Turner offers a rare glimpse into the life and spiritual experiences of an exceptional 18th-century woman. Joanna Turner, a friend of John Wesley and an influential Methodist preacher, defied societal norms to become a powerful voice in the Evangelical movement. Her ministry, characterized by fervent piety, compelling sermons, and a commitment to social reform, attracted a wide following and earned the respect of even more conservative Evangelicals like David Bogue and William Jay. The memoir chronicles her journey of faith, highlighting her transformative encounters with the divine, her tireless efforts to spread the Gospel, and the profound impact she had on those around her.
The memoir also delves into the more esoteric aspects of Turner's spiritual life. The work contains accounts of her prophetic insights, words of wisdom, and supernatural occurrences. These elements, often overlooked in conventional religious biographies, hint at a richer, more nuanced understanding of faith and its potential for accessing hidden knowledge and experiencing the extraordinary.
