The Light In The Prison Window: The Life Story Of Hans Nielsen Hauge is a biography written by Wilhelm Pettersen. The book tells the inspiring life story of Hans Nielsen Hauge, a Norwegian lay preacher and revivalist who lived in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Hauge was born in 1771 in Norway and grew up on a farm. He was a deeply religious person who felt called by God to spread the gospel and bring people closer to Christ. Despite being a layman, Hauge began preaching and teaching in his community, which was highly unusual at the time. Hauge's preaching and teachings were highly influential, and he soon gained a large following. However, his unconventional methods and beliefs put him at odds with the established church, and he was eventually arrested and imprisoned. While in prison, Hauge continued to preach and write, and his influence continued to grow. The Light In The Prison Window tells the story of Hauge's life, from his humble beginnings on a farm to his eventual imprisonment and continued influence on Norwegian society. The book provides a fascinating look at the life of a man who was ahead of his time and whose ideas and teachings continue to inspire people today.This is a new release of the original 1926 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
