From Death Into Life or, Twenty Years of My Ministry

"From Death Into Life: or, Twenty Years of My Ministry" by W. (William) Haslam is a 19th-century story about one man's quest for faith. Starting with his past, it tells of sad times and questions about what is truly important in life. The big change happens at a funeral, which makes him rethink everything he knows. He finds life’s meaning by switching from just following religious rules to actually understanding and believing in his heart. The book follows his ups and downs as he tries to connect with his church members and deals with his own doubts, showing how important it is to be awake in spirit, not just in religious practice. These initial experiences give way to a deep search for faith, making it meaningful, and finding a purpose that changes everything.
