ANTIQUE BOOK FROM 1853 ACCOUNT OF EXPERIENCE OF HESTER ANN ROGERS AND HER FUNERAL SERMON, 295 PAGES
Author: Hester Ann Rogers , Thomas Coke
Publisher: B. Waugh and T. Mason , for the Methodist Episcopal church
From the age of 16, Hester Rogers kept a journal describing her spiritual journey. When published after her death, it presented a life devoted to God and helping others.
Hester Ann Rogers (1756 - 1794) is relatively unknown today, but in the 18th and19th centuries, the Methodist Church and those who agreed with John Wesley's teachings about entire sanctification, pointed to her as an example that other women should follow. She was John Wesley's housekeeper, the wife of an early Methodist preacher, the mother of eight children and constantly exhibited the behavior and demeanor appropriate to Wesleyan holiness.
Throughout her life, Rogers influenced those around her, testifying to God’s work in her own life and exhorting others to allow God to work in theirs. She taught classes, wrote letters of encouragement, and visited the sick and poor, all while maintaining her own household. Yet her many activities did not supplant her first love, love for God, but rather grew out of that love.
