Description
-
This autobiographical memoir tells the story of Sarah Venney (1758–1795), who spent her youth attracted to worldly pleasures before gradually becoming devoted to the Moravian faith. She struggled for years with feelings of sinfulness and spiritual doubt but eventually found peace and joy in Christ through the Brethren’s community. During her final illness from consumption, she remained patient and faithful, eagerly looking forward to being with her Savior, and died peacefully in 1795 at age 36.
