From "Pittman's Biographies"

"Rebecca Anna Phillips, of Macon, Ga. originally united with the Missionary or New School Baptist Church, with whom she remained about eight years and then joined the Primitive or Old School Baptist Church. This was a great trial of her life and about the year 1875 she wrote her 'Experience and Reasons For Leaving the Missionary and Uniting With the Primitive Baptist.' The first edition of 3000 copies were in a few months entirely exhausted. After much solicitation, she was induced to revise and enlarge this work., and it was, in 1901, published under the title of 'Led By A Way I Knew Not.' Sister Phillips was for many years, corresponding Editress of 'Zion's Landmark,' published by Elder P. D. Gold, at Wilson, N.C. She was known as a deep, instructive and spiritual writer. Truly she was a teacher sent of the Lord. "
