About this title

Synopsis

Meet the life of Rev. Amand Parent, the first French-Canadian ordained by the Methodist Church, and a lifelong evangelical worker.

This memoir offers a clear look at a tireless preacher whose work spanned decades in Canada and among the Oka Indians, sharing faith, struggle, and perseverance.

This account follows a man who began in Catholic roots, chose a new path, and dedicated himself to spreading evangelical work across difficult landscapes. It presents the challenges of ministry, the push against entrenched beliefs, and the personal costs of a calling that shaped communities.

• The journey from Catholic devotion to Methodist leadership and ordination.
• Fieldwork among Indigenous communities, including the Oka Indians, and the daily realities of mission life.
• Conflict, courage, and legal battles tied to religious and cultural tensions of the era.
• Moments of faith in action, community building, and the enduring hope of gospel work.

Ideal for readers interested in religious history, Canadian Methodism, and the experiences of 19th‑ and 20th‑century missionaries.
