This well-preserved copy of “How to Become a Christian” by Samuel Shoemaker offers a fascinating glimpse into the mid-20th century Protestant religious landscape in America. Shoemaker, an influential Episcopal minister and a key figure in the Oxford Group (later known as Moral Re-Armament), wrote this work as a practical guide for those seeking to deepen their Christian faith and experience spiritual renewal. Published in the aftermath of World War II, the book reflects the era’s yearning for moral and spiritual guidance amidst the upheavals of modernity. Shoemaker’s emphasis on personal transformation through surrender to God’s will resonated with many seeking a more meaningful existence. For collectors, this 1953 edition holds particular significance as it captures the enduring appeal of Shoemaker’s teachings during a pivotal period in American religious history.
