Catherine Booth: A Biography of the Cofounder of the Salvation Army
(Catherine Booth: A Biography of the Cofounder of The Salv...)
Catherine Booth: A Biography of the Cofounder of The Salvation Army is the story of a woman of the nineteenth century who helped change her world. As wife and partner of William Booth, Catherine became a driving force behind the founding and leading of The Salvation Army. Foremost in her heart was the desire to bring souls to a saving knowledge of Christ. Despite criticism from her peers, she believed intensely that she should preach to the people the straightforward message of salvation. Catherine Booth's views were ahead of her time. She had firm convictions on a broad range of issues such as social advocacy among the poor, abstinence from alcohol, vegetarianism, the humane treatment of animals, and the legal age of consent for girls. On Christian doctrine, she believed in entire sanctification as taught in the Wesleyan doctrine of holiness. Perhaps most radical was her belief that women had full equality with men in ministry. Roger Green paints a fair and accurate portrait of Catherine as a woman who worked tirelessly to serve others and lived her life with unreserved devotion to God.

The Life and Labours of the Rev. Daniel Baker, Pastor and Evangelist (Classic Reprint)
(It would seem most natural that the preparation of this v...)
It would seem most natural that the preparation of this volume should have devolved upon the Rev. Daniel S. Baker, of Louisiana, an elder brother, rather than upon myself, the youngest of the family; yet, for twenty years, I have intended, should I survive my father, to prepare such a volume. With this intention secretly cherished, by urgent and longcontinued entreaty, I prevailed upon my father, in the rare intervals of a life of incessant occupation, to write the narrative or autobiography which is the basis of this book a narrative, therefore, not prepared for the purpose for which it is used, but solely for the gratification of his children. With the same object in view, I have made it a business, since I could first remember, to rescue from loss, in the frequent removals of the family, the various journals contained herein, as well as the letters of which such abundant use is made.

The Ten Theophanies: Or, The Appearances of Our Lord to Men Before His Birth in Bethlehem (1883) (With Active Table of Contents)
(WILLIAM MUMFORD BAKER (1825–1883) was a Presbyterian mini...)
WILLIAM MUMFORD BAKER (1825–1883) was a Presbyterian minister and famous author who in 1883 published "The Ten Theophanies (1883). Theophany meaning "appearance of a god" refers to the appearance of a deity to a human. Strange to say there is, so far as the writer can learn, no volume as yet in any language which treats of the Ten Theophanies, or revelations of our Lord to men in Old Testament days. If the writer is correct in this, whatever else may be said of this attempt, it is at least unique. This is all the stranger, since there are few appetites stronger among men than that which feeds itself upon narrations of remarkable events. Surely He had this in view in leaving upon record these ten manifestations of himself to men as God, yet man. These manifestations are as historical as any other portions of Scripture, and are as much more interesting and thrilling than many portions as the deep things of God are more so than those of men. Contents I. (B. C. 1913—GEN. xiv. 18-20). CHRIST, KING AND PRIEST FOR THE "WORLD OUTSIDE THE CHURCH. II. (B. C. 1898.—GEN. xviii.). CHRIST THE PERSONAL FRIEND. III. (B. C. 1739.—GEN. xxxii.)

William Mumford Baker
Edit ProfileEducation
He graduated with honor from Princeton College in 1846 and attended Princeton Seminary in 1847-48.
Career
He was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of New Brunswick, New Jersey, April 26, 1848, and was ordained by the Presbytery of Little Rock, in 1850. After preaching for a short time in Galveston, he reorganized the First Presbyterian Chur Though devoted to the South and especially to the state of his adoption, he was a firm Unionist and found his position during the Civil War a trying one. During this time he kept a record of his experiences, thinly veiled as fiction, which was published in 1866 under the title of Inside: A Chronicle of Secession. Soon after the war he removed to the North and held various pastorates - at Zanesville, Ohio, 1866-72; at Newburyport, Massachussets, 1872-74; and at South Boston, 1874-76. In the meantime he had published a number of books, and he now resigned his pastorate and for the next four years devoted himself to writing.
In 1881 he accepted the pastorate of the South Church in Philadelphia. ch of Austin, in May 1850, and remained in this pastorate until 1865. During the Civil War he kept a record of his experiences, thinly veiled as fiction, which was published in 1866 under the title of Inside: A Chronicle of Secession. Soon after the war he removed to the North and held various pastorates - at Zanesville, Ohio, 1866-72; at Newburyport, Massachussets, 1872-74; and at South Boston, 1874-76. In the meantime he had published a number of books, and he now resigned his pastorate and for the next four years devoted himself to writing. His first book was The Life and Labors of Daniel Baker (1858), a memoir of his father. Though of slight literary merit, the book has some value to the historical student.
After Baker's removal to the North other books appeared with regularity. Most of them reflect his earlier experiences in Texas and other parts of the South. These were: Oak Mot (1868); The New Timothy (1870), which embodies many of his earlier experiences in Texas; Mose Evans (1874); Carter Quarterman (1876), which is generally supposed to be the story of his noted father told in a more attractive form than in his earlier book; The Virginians in Texas (1878), a story of adventure for boys; A Year Worth Living (1878) and Colonel Dunwoddie, Millionaire (1878), both of which are descriptive of southern life; His Majesty, Myself (1880), descriptive of conditions at Princeton as he saw them when a student there, and published anonymously, as was the book immediately preceding; Blessed Saint Certainty (1881); The Ten Theophanies (1883), which is probably his chief work of a distinctly religious character; and The Making of a Man (1884), which was published posthumously.
