Book Description
Prophet John Wroe (1782-1863), found fame through his many predictions, his preaching and the establishment of the Christian Israelite Church in the early 1820s. Edward Green places Wroe’s life and career in the context of an industrialised society struggling to find values and needing to believe in themselves as the Chosen People.
