Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoir of Mrs. Joanna Turner: As Exemplified in Her Life, Death, and Spiritual Experience; With a Recommendatory Preface
Her eventful life is interesting and instructive while it keeps the best feelings of the heart fully and delightfully exercised, it exemplifies in no ordinary degree the power and profit of practical godliness.
Mrs. Turner was an extraordinary woman, richly endowed by divine grace. Engaged in the service of God from early life, in a sphere of action where no common person could have done any thing, she succeeded in doing every thing. The opposition and obstacles, which met her daily, seem only to have ministered to the ardour and energy of her mind, and the healthful exercise of her faith in God her Sae viour, so as to have rendered her ascendancy over them all the more conspicuous. She was poor, yet she supported the poor; kept up the stated preach ing of the gospel, and built two churches at her own expense, and withal became rich She sustained great distress of body, not with patience merely, but with fortitude, and peace, and joy. She lived happ and died triumphant. Her example may be very useful to the Christian public, and encouraging to those who would commit themselves to God in well doing.
I hope your labour in making this little book more generally known may be fully remunerated.
