0.68 pounds Amanda Smith knew the bitterness of slavery firsthand.
Though her father bought her freedom when she was a small girl, she watched as
her family participated in the Underground Railroad.
She also knew loneliness and privation.
Widowed when her first husband was killed in the Civil War, she cooked and
washed and ironed to make a meager living for herself and her children.
Marrying again, she faced disappointment when she discovered her second
husband’s true nature, and grief when she was widowed a second time.
But here, too, is a story of redemption and
faith. In her own words, this is the narrative of her soul’s hunger for God and
holiness, and how that hunger was satisfied beyond all she could hope for.
Here is the tale of how she bought her own
sister’s freedom, and how “God paid the debt.” And here is the story of a woman
who trusted God unreservedly, rising above prejudice and opposition. Traveling
to Europe, Africa and India as a world-renowned evangelist, she spread the
liberating news of the saving and sanctifying grace of God.
This is the account of how a freed slave
set out under God’s direction and with his provision to bring freedom to
thousands held captive by sin.
