Samuel Bownas

The Captivity Of Elizabeth Hanson

The Captivity Of Elizabeth Hanson

A Quaker Kidnapped By Native Americans In 1725

BY SAMUEL BOWNAS
"On the 27th of the sixth month, called August, 1725, my husband and all our menservants being abroad, eleven Indians, armed with tomahawks and gun came furiously into the house." Thus begins the story of the captivity of Quaker Elizabeth Hanson, "taken in substance from her own mouth" by Samuel Bownas. This book contains the complete text of Bownas' 1760 edition, with a twenty page introduction and notes designed to explain the background to this true story.

Description Of The Qualifications Necessary

Description Of The Qualifications Necessary

To A Gospel Minister; Advice To Ministers And Elders Among The People Called Quakers

BY SAMUEL BOWNAS
Friends seeking to nurture and deepen ministry in their meetings will find remarkably clear, specific and relevant guidance in this classic work. "Qualification, as this eighteenth century Friend uses the word, implies that one has gone through a process of personal transformation which reorients the ego, the will, and the attention so that one can be trusted purely to receive and purely to give forth an inspired message." (William Taber, from the Introduction) Bownas offers advice on 'qualifying' vocal ministry and other forms of ministry. A careful reading of the book can help Friends learn to discern the difference between the ego and Divine will.
