Description: In this memoir, Otto Christoph (Christian) Krogstrup recounts his birth and pious childhood in Denmark as well as his awakening during his higher education. He also describes his "spiritual birth" as an adult. He was ordained and served congregations in Denmark. But he was dismissed because he wouldn't grant absolution to people who came to him for confession. After 1748, he traveled through Herrnhut, Marienborn, Herrnhag, and Barby. He left in 1753 for America where he served several Moravian congregations. Another brother or sister finishes the memoir recounting his faithful heart and the last years of his ministry and the state of his declining health. Written in calligraphy.
