Thirty Years in the Itinerancy

"Thirty Years in the Itinerancy" by W. G. (Wesson Gage) Miller is a late 19th-century recollection of a minister's life spent traveling throughout the Wisconsin Conference. It reveals the struggles and achievements encountered by Rev. Miller while serving small communities, tackling common issues of the time, and relying on his faith to navigate life. The book starts with the idea of divine intervention, explaining Miller's reluctant but eventual call to ministry and westward journey that leads him to an unforeseen life dedicated to the church in Wisconsin. The beginning chapters explore faith, divine guidance, and the challenges of serving as a minister in a developing area, setting the stage for how his work profoundly transforms him and impacts the people he serves.
