The journal, with other writings of John Woolman by John Woolman
"The journal, with other writings of John Woolman" by John Woolman is an autobiography published posthumously in 1774. This spiritual memoir chronicles Woolman's moral awakening as a Quaker in colonial America, documenting his struggles against slavery and materialism. Through intimate reflections, Woolman reveals his journey from writing a bill of sale for a slave to becoming an early abolitionist. He explores how power corrupts, advocates for divine goodness and tolerance, and ultimately
rejects wealth to deepen his relationship with God. His simple, sincere prose offers timeless insights into living ethically. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
