Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Living Book in a Living Age "The Living Book Comment For The Week That man is dead and doesn´t know it." So in a brief, cutting sentence a brilliant critic characterized a man who had wasted his vitality and was living out his years in dull lethargy, the mere husk of the man he had once been. People differ vastly in this matter of vitality. Some are vividly and contagiously alive, some have flashes of vital energy, and some seem to be curiously lifeless. Books are like people as respects this matter of vitality. Some books are like stately cemeteries, dignified cities of the dead. Some books suggest a throbbing, busy metropolis; there are signs of life everywhere. The Bible thrills with vital power. It has a sort of stinging, inevitable vitality. The Bible is alive because it comes out of life. You always hear voices whenever you go near the Bible. Sometimes you hear men talking with eager zest. Sometimes you hear them pleading. Sometimes you hear them praying. Sometimes you hear them weeping. Sometimes you hear them singing. But you always hear them. Armies are marching. Workers are laboring. Judges are hearing complaints. Kings are ruling. People are busy about all the interests of life. There is stir and movement everywhere. And above all the human voices is the high command of that great voice which speaks with the authenticity which comes from the Master of life himself. In the Bible human life becomes articulate. And deeper than that, in the Bible God becomes articulate, speaking in the language of men. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
