Of Water and the Spirit is a memoir written by Margaret Prescott Montague, first published in 1916. The book tells the story of her childhood and early adulthood growing up in a small town in Virginia, where she was raised by her mother and grandmother. Montague's family was deeply religious, and their faith played a central role in her upbringing.As Montague grows older, she becomes increasingly drawn to the idea of becoming a missionary. She eventually joins a group of missionaries who travel to West Africa to spread the Christian faith. The book chronicles Montague's experiences in Africa, including the challenges she faced as a white woman in a foreign land, the cultural differences she encountered, and the relationships she formed with the people she met.Throughout the book, Montague reflects on the role of religion in her life and the lives of the people she encounters. She also explores themes of race, gender, and colonialism, providing a unique perspective on the complex social and political issues of her time.Overall, Of Water and the Spirit is a compelling memoir that offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a woman who dedicated her life to spreading the Christian faith in Africa. It is a powerful exploration of faith, culture, and identity, and a testament to the enduring human spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
