It showcases themes of faith, truth, and moral fortitude, as Baker is portrayed as a model Christian who lived a life rich in virtue and commitment to his religious beliefs.  The opening of the volume begins with a preface by Rev. Hewit, who explains the motivations behind writing the memoir and editing Baker's sermons. He expresses his intention to honor Baker's memory while also using his life story as an example of profound conversion and commitment to the Catholic faith, which serves as a potential inspiration for others. The narrative draws on various aspects of Baker's early life, including his family background, his education, and the influences that led him to embrace a religious vocation. It sets the stage for a reflection on Baker's values and the impact of his teachings, inviting readers to explore the broader themes of faith, spirituality, and the journey of self-discovery in the context of the Catholic faith.
