The Disciples is a novel written by Harriet Eleanor Hamilton King, first published in 1894. The story revolves around a group of young women who are members of a religious sect called The Disciples. The group is led by a charismatic preacher named Pauline who is deeply committed to her faith and encourages her followers to embrace a life of simplicity and devotion to God.The novel follows the lives of several members of the group, including the protagonist, Ruth, who is drawn to the community after a series of personal tragedies. As she becomes more involved with the Disciples, Ruth struggles to reconcile her own desires and ambitions with the strict rules and expectations of the group.Throughout the book, King explores themes of faith, love, and sacrifice, as well as the tensions that can arise between individual freedom and communal responsibility. The characters are complex and well-drawn, and the novel offers a nuanced portrayal of a religious community that is both inspiring and flawed.Overall, The Disciples is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a compelling insight into the world of religious devotion and the challenges that come with living a life of faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
