The book explores her early years as a daughter of a coachbuilder, her marriage to William Booth, and her role in the establishment of the Salvation Army. Through her tireless efforts, Catherine Booth became a champion for the poor and marginalized, advocating for their rights and fighting against social injustice. This book also explores her religious beliefs and her commitment to spreading the gospel message. With its engaging writing style and thorough research, ""Catherine Booth: A Sketch"" is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Salvation Army or the life of this remarkable woman.Extravagance and waste of every kind she abhorred, and had she not been so careful in planning and arranging, her time and money would again and again have run short. The sewing, mending, and housekeeping needed for a family of little children when means are scarce would have been burden enough for most mothers. But besides this came her own letter-writing, preparing for her Meetings, and also the hours she spent consulting and advising The General, whose voice, 'Here, Kate, ' would call her from the nursery or kitchen to help him decide some important question.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
