Voices from the Heart - Four Centuries of American Piety

Edited by Roger Lundin & Mark A Noll

This wideranging anthology includes selections by both well-known and obscure Americans, beginning with the Puritans and ending with such twentieth-century figures as Elisabeth Elliott, Francis Schaeffer, and Catherine Marshall. A sampling of the selections illustrates the collection's diversity: entries from David Brainerd's Journal, Francis Asbury's Diary Entries and Selected Letters, selections from the Memoirs of Charles G. Finney, excerpts on Holy Living from "The Way of Life" by Charles Hodge, and Phoebe Palmer's excerpt from the "Way of Holiness", plus many others. There are 55 such selections in all - each introduced with a brief sketch of the author that places him or her in religious history. A compelling celebration of the richness and complexity of Christian spiritual experience, this book will confront every reader with a piety that is fresh, diverse, and deeply felt.

Good condition.
