Now available in paperback! This biography is the compelling story
of Amanda Berry Smith, a former slave and washer-woman with less
than a year of formal education who rose to become one of the
nineteenth century's most important and successful Christian
evangelists. Based on letters published in Christian newspapers,
copies of her own newspaper The Helper, and numerous public records
and documents, this biography puts Amanda Berry Smith's eventful
life in a proper historical perspective, evaluating the significant
impact of her deeds. It traces her beginnings as the child of freed
blacks in antebellum Pennsylvania, her turbulent marriages, her
search for communities and faith in New York City, and her eventual
prominence as a camp-fire missionary and as a world traveler of
spiritual faith. This thoughtful individual study probes the
complex relationship between herself and other contemporary
reformers, black and white, and answers many questions left
unanswered by Smith's own autobiography.
