The Everlasting Arms (eBook, ePUB)

A Tale of Faith, Love, and Redemption in Victorian England

Beschreibung

Joseph Hocking's 'The Everlasting Arms' is a poignant exploration of faith, love, and redemption set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England. Written in a lyrical prose that captures the emotional struggles of its characters, the novel delves deep into the complexities of human relationships and the search for spiritual solace. Hocking, influenced by the social upheavals of his time and the burgeoning Christian revival movements, creates a narrative that seamlessly blends drama with spiritual inquiry, inviting readers to reflect on their own beliefs and experiences. Joseph Hocking, a prolific writer and fervent preacher, drew heavily from his personal journey of faith and his observations of the human condition. Born into a Plymouth Brethren family, Hocking faced the challenge of reconciling his religious upbringing with the social realities around him. His experiences as a minister and a keen observer of moral dilemmas informed his writing, as he sought to articulate the struggles of individuals torn between worldly desires and spiritual aspirations. I highly recommend 'The Everlasting Arms' for readers seeking a deeper understanding of the human heart'Äôs quest for meaning. Hocking's masterful storytelling, coupled with profound theological insights, offers an enriching experience that prompts reflection on faith and the everlasting embrace of divine love.

Autor

Joseph Hocking was a Cornish author and United Methodist Free Church priest. Hocking was born in St Stephen-in-Brannel, Cornwall, to James Hocking, a part-owner of a tin mine, and Elizabeth (Kitto) Hocking. In 1884, he was ordained a Methodist minister. Working in various regions of England over the next few years, he completed his first novel, Harry Penhale - The Trial of his Faith, while in London in 1887. He saw fiction as a highly successful method for communicating his Christian message to the public, and he combined writing with church obligations until illness caused him to leave from the ministry in 1909. His final pastoral charge was the huge and important United Free Church in Woodford, Essex, which he helped rebuild by the skilled arts and crafts architect Charles Harrison Townsend. He continued to write, and in his career, he published approximately 100 volumes. Although virtually forgotten today, he was extremely popular in his day.
