Overview

This rare book is one of F. W. Boreham’s earliest writings. It’s a series of five dispatches from Boreham to the editor of his hometown newspaper in England. He provides details of his journey by train and ship to the pastorate that awaited him in Mosgiel, New Zealand. Geoff Pound provides a fascinating preface that by itself makes this worth having.

Praise for the Print Edition

Of the books that have played the greatest role in molding me, I count many volumes by especially one writer: F. W. Boreham. He authored more than fifty books of essays and pastored congregations in New Zealand, Tasmania, and Australia. He was not the classical preacher, not even a profound, deep preacher, but he was marvelous at seeing beauty in the simple things of life. He heeded John Wesley's charge to young preachers to blend simplicity with sublimity, 'the strongest sense in the plainest language.'

—Ravi Zacharias
