Agnes Weston was born in Bath, England forty years after Jane Austen’s death. In Agnes’ day, Bath still retained the elegance, class, and social status that it had held during the time of Jane Austen’s writing of the book, Persuasion. Agnes was born into a wealthy family, but eschewed her parents’ ardent Christian faith until she met a young minister who listened to her objections with patience and spoke to her about a personal faith in Jesus Christ, devoid of hypocrisy. When Agnes received Jesus, she did so wholeheartedly and the result was a life dedicated to Christian service on behalf of the Royal Navy. Her exploits for a woman of her time were novel and profound. Listen in to hear how God led her from atheism into a life of devoted, joyous service to Jesus.
