Author
After emigrating from Germany to Michigan at age seven Johannes Strieter (1829-1920) served as a confessional Lutheran pastor in Ohio Wisconsin Illinois and Indiana amid almost unbelievable hardships. Though not a well-known person himself his lifes path intersected with that of numerous distinguished persons--August Cramer Friedrich Wyneken J. C. W. Lindemann C. F. W. Walther and John C. Pritzlaff just to name a handful. Through his recollections we also encounter firsthand the Ojibwa; the Civil War; the establishment and founding of roads cities churches and schools; and we travel by sea lake river canal railroad horseback buggy stagecoach and on foot. We accompany him as he nearly kills his sister; is spared in a terrible accident; falls in love; navigates difficult pastoral situations and decisions; gets drafted into the Union Army; buries some of his children; ministers to the troubled misguided sick and dying; and finally retires to Michigan on account of deafness. Translated afresh from Strieters original manuscript and presented with twelve appendices to supplement his autobiography Sacred Storytelling is a treasure trove of adventure perspective entertainment courage and conviction.
