QUAKER WOMEN PASSING:
DEATHBED AS MINISTRY IN THE MEMOIRS
OF SUSANNA LIGHTFOOT AND MARTHA THOMAS

Susanna Lightfoot (1720-1781) was an impoverished Irish peasant whose preaching ministry began in her adolescence and spanned two continents. Martha Thomas (1805-1836) was a wealthy American Quaker who died young. Each woman used her deathbed as an active pulpit for preaching the Gospel. This book contains the unabridged contemporary accounts of these remarkably similar deathbed ministries.
