Journal of John Woolman
by John Woolman
Summary
The Journal of John Woolman tells
the
encouraging and powerful story of John Woolman's life. John Woolman was
a 17th century Quaker and abolitionist. His Journal focuses on
his
moral, spiritual, and intellectual development. In particular, it
depicts Woolman's deep concern for equality and justice. His concern
made him act as an agent of restoration towards those whom he saw as
being oppressed in his time. He was an open advocate of abolition, and
encouraged many to free their slaves. But his influence extended beyond
the Quakers. His letters and journeys have impacted many different
people; his Journal alone has been continuously published since
1774--a
true testimony to the significance and impact of his life! Reading this
powerful work will encourage one to be, following John Woolman's
example, a positive force of justice, equality, and restoration in the
world.
