The first part covers Fox's early life and his spiritual awakening, which led him to reject the established church and seek a more direct relationship with God. The second part covers Fox's travels throughout England and the establishment of the Quaker movement, which was marked by persecution and opposition from both the church and the state. The third part covers Fox's later years, including his imprisonment and eventual release, as well as his continued efforts to spread the Quaker message.Throughout the book, Penney provides historical context and background information to help readers understand the social, political, and religious climate of the time. He also includes footnotes and annotations to clarify and expand upon Fox's writings.
