Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Darkness and Daybreak: Personal Experiences, Manners, Customs, Habits, Religious and Social Life in Persia
I cannot begin to write a narrative of the facts con nected with the history of my life, without giving all glory and praise to the most precious God, who has so wonderfully guided me, during the last ten years especially. No words like those of the Scriptures can adequately express my heart's gratitude for all the ways by which he has led me, and you, dear reader, will magnify him while reading as I did while writing this. Let us exalt His name forever; let the Lord be mag nified, which taketh pleasure in the prosperity of His elect. Praise ye the Lord, for His name is excellent; His glory is above the heavens. I have been deeply tried; yes, the Lord is with the righteous; Lo, I am with you. Surely He has been with me His presence has gone before me and has given me strength and cour age. He faileth not. I have heard his voice saying, Fear not, I will help thee. And He has done so; yea, in the deepest waters; in all places His hand has led me and He has kept me. With David I can say, God is my salvation. Iwill trust and not be afraid. Icried by reason of my af?iction unto the Lord, and he answered me. The Lord stood by me and strengthened me, say ing: My strength is made perfect in weakness.
