For nearly 2,000 years, Christian mystics, martyrs, and sages have documented their search for the divine. Their writings have bestowed boundless wisdom upon subsequent generations. But they have also burdened many spiritual seekers. The sheer volume of available material creates a seemingly insurmountable obstacle. Enter the Upper Room Spiritual Classics series, a collection of authoritative texts on Christian spirituality curated for the everyday reader. Designed to introduce 15 spiritual giants and the range of their works, these volumes are a first-rate resource for beginner and expert alike.

The 18th-century Quaker John Woolman dedicated his life to the struggles of others. His extensive Journals, sampled in this volume, show how his concern grew from those chained in slavery to include all who were poor, oppressed, or exploited. Now a spiritual classic, the Journals reveal the development of a Christian soul seeking to do and know God's will in all things.
