Miracles in My Life - J. N. Loughborough

Foreword
In 1852, John N. Loughborough, unimpressive
in appearance and slight of build, began a
determined evangelism for Seventh-day
Adventists. Undaunted by blizzards and bitter cold,
he traveled by buggy and sleigh over trackless
prairies and baffling forest trails of the mid-west.
Beginning his California labors in 1868, with a
sixty-foot tent in Sonoma County, he attracted
overflow crowds, made many converts, but was
frequently threatened, and narrowly escaped death
form an angry, knife-wielding opponent.
Few, if any, of our Adventist pioneers covered
such a long span of years as Loughborough, 1832-
1924. Fewer still recorded their experiences in as
many publications. Loughborough's close
association with Elder and Mrs. White enables him
to include many faith-building incidents in
connection with the gift of prophecy, and also adds
interest to his personal narrative. His eye-witness
account is effective and authentic.
