Jerry McAuley An Apostle To The Lost - 2nd Edition

This book is titled Jerry McAuley His Life and His Work and is a second edition. The book was originally published in 1885.

Here is a note about this book from the First Chapter:

”The following autobiographical sketch of Jerry McAuley. and the beginning of his Christian work was written in 1875, mainly from Jerry's dictation, and was widely circulated and read at the time, under the title of "Transformed; or, The History of a River Thief." With a careful revision, and with some additional facts relating to the early part of Jerry's redeemed life and the origin of the Mission in Water Street, supplied in their proper connection by a loving hand, it is here reproduced as the most fitting introduction to the present volume.”

Here is the Preface to Second Edition:

“WITH gratitude to God record is here made that the first edition of this work has been abundantly owned and blessed of Him. The second and still larger edition is sent out with prayers as fervent and hopes as ardent as those which accompanied the first. May every copy carry a blessing!”

Jerry McAuley was the founder of the Water Street Mission in NYC.

Jerry McAuley was a common river thief who first saw the light of the gospel in Sing Sing Prison. This is the story of his journey to starting a rescue mission to help others find the gospel in the same way he did. Follow him through sixteen years of his life and work at the Water Street Mission, read the testimonies of those he led to Christ, and be inspired by his passion for the lost.
