Discoveries: Made from Living My New Life

Eugenia Price

Zondervan, 1979 - Religion - 127 pages

Originally Published in 1953, "Discoveries" is Eugenia Price's honest account of her quest to find out what Jesus Christ means to her, and how her newfound belief in Him has changed her life.Eugenia Price wrote "Discoveries"-her first book-two years after her conversion to Christianity at the age of thirty-three. It is an authentic journal of her spiritual journey from nonbeliever to believer. "Discoveries" is filled with the vitality and excitement of a new disciple-and yet, as the author states, it is "still startlingly central to what I believe today." Updated with a new Preface, this book is essential reading for all believers-new and old alike-who are eager to re-examine their own commitments to Jesus Christ, as Ms. Price has done in these pages.

About the author

Eugenia Price, 1916 - 1996 Eugenia Price, born on June 22, 1916, was an American author best known for her historical novels which were set in the American South. Early in Price's writing career, she was a well-known author of many Christian books. While on St. Simons Island, she wandered through Christ Church cemetery where she found the graves of Anson Dodge, his wives Ellen and Anna, and his child. She wanted to take her writing in a different direction and the graves inspired her to write biographies about average people who only impacted those around them. The result was "Beloved Invader," the post Civil War story of the Reverend Anson Dodge. This first book about St. Simons Island, where she spent time in a cottage researching the Island families, created a new genre. She followed with "Lighthouse" and "New Moon Rising," which went back in time from the Civil War. Price used everything that she wrote, such as articles she wrote for Coastal Illustrated, which were collected and published as "At Home on St. Simons," and the diary she kept while working on a novel became "Diary of a Novel." She also wrote the Savannah quartet, with the final novel titled "Stranger in Savannah." It's a love story that takes place during the time that the country was heading towards the Civil War. Her last book, which was finished a few weeks before her death, was "The Waiting Time." On May 28, 1996, Eugenia Price died of congestive heart failure and was laid to rest in the Christ Church Cemetery.
