THE PASTOR'S DAUGHTER: The Way of Salvation Explained to his Daughter by Rev. Edward Payson
Louisa Payson Hopkins
A unique glimpse into the home and heart of the remarkable Payson family of Portland, Maine, as Edward Payson lovingly leads his oldest daughter, Louisa, to genuine faith in Christ. It traces the struggles of a brilliant girl from the age of 4 to 14 as she seeks to come to Christ on her own terms, and not the Lord's.
Those who have loved "A Pastor's Sketches" by Ichabod Spencer will find themselves in familiar territory as Payson faithfully presses his daughter to repent and believe the Gospel. The chapters are brief and filled with illuminating illustrations that parents and pastors alike will find useful in presenting the claims of Christ and the demands of the Gospel upon sinners. There is nothing like this available anywhere!
It cannot be recommended too highly!

Louisa Payson Hopkins, (1812-1862), was the first born daughter of Rev. Edward Payson, and older sister of Elizabeth Payson Prentiss (the author of "Stepping Heavenward"). She married Professor Albert Hopkins in 1842. She contributed articles to Kitto's "Biblical Cyclopedia," "The New York Review," and other periodicals, and composed several question-books for the Massachusetts Sunday school union. Mrs. Hopkins also wrote numerous works for children which have been admired for their excellent method of illustrating the Bible and its doctrines. They include "The Pastor's Daughter, or The Way of Salvation Explained"; "Lessons on the Book of Proverbs," "The Young Christian Encouraged," "Henry Langdon, or What was I made for?"; "The Guiding Star, or The Bible God's Message," a sequel to "Henry Langdon"; "The Silent Comforter: a Companion for the Sick Room"; and "Payson's Select Thoughts" (now available from Solid Ground Christian Books in the book "Legacy of a Legend").
"Louisa Payson was born at Portland, ME, February 24, 1812. Even as a child she was the object of tender interest to her father on account of her remarkable intellectual promise. He took utmost pains to aid and encourage her in learning to study and to think. The impression he made upon her may be seen in the popular little volume entitled 'The Pastor's Daughter,' which consists largely of conversations with him, written out from memory after his death. She was then in her sixteenth year."
