Joseph Wood 1750-1821 A Yorkshire Quaker

This book has been written as an introduction to a remarkable man who was both a true Quaker of the Quietist years and a prolific writer. Based on the contents of 100 Notebooks written by Joseph from his youth until 1821, related letters and Quaker writings, it offers a lively portrayal of Joseph, a minister of the Gospel for 42 years, who in that time became a greatly valued friend of all who knew him, a well respected and much travelled minister, a hugely influential person and powerful preacher, and a tireless worker in the cause of spreading Quaker truth. It provides a clear account of the place of religious belief in an individual's daily living and an understanding of the faith of one convinced Quaker.
