FROM DEATH TO LIFE: Twenty Years of My Ministry.
BY
A devoted country clergyman opens his memoir with a vivid picture of youthful promise—a bright future, an imminent marriage, and a steady path toward ordination. That promise is shattered one night by an urgent letter announcing his fiancée’s grave illness, thrusting him into a frantic journey that forces him to confront mortality head‑on. In the wake of that crisis he discovers a startling shift from merely performing religious duties to experiencing a profound spiritual rebirth.
The following years trace his tireless work across rural parishes, open‑air meetings, and humble cottage gatherings, while he wrestles with the tension between outward religiosity and true inner transformation. He shares candid accounts of personal missteps, the joy of seeing souls awaken, and the quiet lessons that kept him grounded. Listeners will find a heartfelt guide for anyone yearning to move beyond surface devotion toward a living, breathing faith.
