Born in 1836, Edward "Ned" Wright led a life of vice and crime. His days were filled with drinking, smoking, wife-beating, and stealing-even stealing from the dead. It seemed impossible that he could ever reform. But then one night something happened. Out of curiosity, Ned and his wife went into a fancy theater for an "all seats free" program. There they were unexpectedly and powerfully affected by a Gospel presentation during which Ned was carried away into a waking vision of "the most awful tribunal I ever witnessed..."Ned described the experience. "Shivering like an aspen leaf, not daring to raise my head, I felt this to be ten thousand times worse than being tried at the Old Bailey... There was no deceiving the Judge of all the earth, no bringing false witnesses to swear one clear: His eyes were as flames of fire, searching me through.... I knew I was guilty; I felt condemned; and I stood a wretched sinner before the Judge. Then, too, in all that vast assembly, there was no voice raised in my favour-my case was hopeless. I stood in breathless suspense awaiting my sentence; and while trembling and quaking with fear, the scalding tears running down my cheeks, and my heart bursting within me, I heard a voice softly and gently whispering in my ear, 'Look to Jesus; there is pardon and life, through looking to Jesus.' Then I cried in agony of soul, 'Where, oh, where is Jesus?'" By faith, Ned Wright and his wife found Jesus that night.In an undeniable testament to the truth and efficacy of Christianity, Ned was completely transformed. His former energies and genius for evil were turned toward the bringing of life to the poor and criminals of the London metropolis and the surrounding country. Ministering to their needs through "soup suppers," mission rooms, and mothers' meetings, Ned demonstrated and proclaimed the Good News of the God Who so loved the world... with life-changing results. Published in 1871, *Incidents in the Life of Edward Wright* enters Ned's story about ten years after his conversion and ends in the present tense, in the midst of his ongoing and vibrant ministry. This timing allowed the author to confer with Mr. Wright for the accurate and rich telling of story after story of spiritual transformation.About the Scripture Testimony EditionWalking Together Press has enhanced this classic title by identifying and marking portions of the narrative that illustrate specific Biblical topics and verses.
