""The Haystack Prayer Meeting: A Brief Account Of Its Origin And Spirit"" is a book written by Thomas Cole Richards and originally published in 1906. The book tells the story of a group of five college students who, in 1806, gathered in a haystack on the campus of Williams College in Massachusetts for a prayer meeting that would change the course of American Christianity. The book provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the prayer meeting, the meeting itself, and the impact it had on the students and the wider Christian community. It also explores the spiritual and social context of the time, and the various movements and ideologies that influenced the development of American Christianity in the 19th century. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American Christianity, the role of prayer and spirituality in religious movements, and the impact of college campuses on the development of American intellectual and religious life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
