Exposing the realities of this world and showing how humans have forsaken the morals and values by which they should live, author Mary Robinson discusses the necessity of acknowledging the wisdom that God has supplied humankind. Through her personal testimony, she shares how she was led to Christ and has not looked back. In From Disgrace to Grace, Robinson explains how the two sins of fornication and adultery are destroying lives. She reveals the path to begin living a life that God intended, which involves changing a mind-set to live a godly life; knowing God by having a personal relationship with him; understanding God’s will and honoring his word; showing appreciation for the grace he bestows; avoiding fornication and adultery; and renouncing the devil. Through Bible scripture, From Disgrace to Grace shows how to live by the words of God and be thankful that he gave humans the Holy Spirit to endure the challenges faced in life.

Honoring the Word of God

From Disgrace to Grace

Mary Robinson’s A Letter to the Women of England (1799) is a radical response to the rampant anti-feminist sentiment of the late 1790s. In this work, Robinson encourages her female contemporaries to throw off the “glittering shackles” of custom and to claim their rightful places as the social and intellectual equals of men. Separately published in the same year, Robinson’s novel The Natural Daughter follows the story of Martha Morley, who defies her husband’s authority, adopts a found infant, is barred from her husband’s estate and is driven to seek work as an actress and author. The novel implicitly links and critiques domestic tyrants in England and Jacobin tyrants in France. This edition also includes: other writings by Mary Robinson (tributes, and an excerpt from The Progress of Liberty); writings by contemporaries on women, society, and revolution; and contemporary reviews of both works.
