Catherine Booth A Sketch (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169223646)

""Catherine Booth: A Sketch"" is a biographical account of the life of Catherine Booth, the co-founder of the Salvation Army. Written by Colonel Mildred Duff, who was a close friend of Catherine Booth, the book provides a detailed and intimate portrait of the woman who played a significant role in the social and religious history of the 19th century. The book covers Catherine's early life, her marriage to William Booth, their shared vision of social reform and the establishment of the Salvation Army. The author also delves into Catherine's personal struggles, including her health issues and the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated society. Through this book, readers gain a deeper understanding of Catherine Booth's remarkable life and her enduring legacy as a trailblazer for women's rights and social justice.Extravagance and waste of every kind she abhorred, and had she not been so careful in planning and arranging, her time and money would again and again have run short. The sewing, mending, and housekeeping needed for a family of little children when means are scarce would have been burden enough for most mothers. But besides this came her own letter-writing, preparing for her Meetings, and also the hours she spent consulting and advising The General, whose voice, 'Here, Kate, ' would call her from the nursery or kitchen to help him decide some important question.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
