Her 1852 novel \u003ci\u003eUncle Tom's Cabin\u003c\/i\u003e converted readers by the thousands to the anti-slavery movement and served notice that the days of slavery were numbered. Overnight Stowe became a celebrity, but to defenders of slavery she was the devil in petticoats. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Most writing about Stowe treats her as a literary figure and social reformer while downplaying her Christian faith. But Nancy Koester's biography highlights Stowe's faith as central to her life -- both her public fight against slavery and her own personal struggle through deep grief to find a gracious God. Having meticulously researched Stowe's own writings, both published and un-published, Koester traces Stowe's faith pilgrimage from evangelical Calvinism through spiritualism to Anglican spirituality in a flowing, compelling narrative.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 391\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.01 x 8.95 x 6.11 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 13, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minnesota Book Award (2015)\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45609666871340,"sku":"9780802833044","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/smartsupplydeals.com\/products\/harriet-beecher-stowe-a-spiritual-life-paperback","provider":"Smart supply deals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
