About this title

Synopsis

Journey with a steadfast faith across continents, meeting leaders and shaping spiritual service in the 1800s.

This is the second volume of the journal of Thomas Shillitoe, a Quaker minister whose life spans travel, advocacy, and direct religious work on the Continent and in Britain. It records his careful, prayerful approach to difficult duties, his interviews with rulers, and his concern for friends, the poor, and the integrity of worship. The narrative blends personal devotion with historical moments, offering a window into early 19th‑century religious life and international mission.

Readers will follow his experiences from London to Europe, watch his interactions with church and state, and witness his steady commitment to live out his beliefs in practical action and communal care. The edition includes reflections on meetings, discipline, and the long path of faithfully serving a cause beyond the self.

Accounts of meetings, travels, and conversations that shaped his public ministry
Insights into how he navigated religious disagreement within the broader community
Examples of charitable work and concern for the poor and vulnerable
Personal passages on prayer, endurance, and steadfastness in faith

Ideal for readers of religious biographies, Quaker history, and 19th‑century travel narratives seeking a life of committed service.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
