Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Mount of Vision: Being a Study of Life, in Terms of the Whole It was by what the world would call Luck, but by what I feel to be Divine Providence, that I was asked to fix upon a writer for our Lenten book for 1918 on April 20, 1917. I was driving the author of this inspiring book, if I remember right, down to the great service which we held in St. Paul´s Cathedral to commemorate the greatest event which has happened for 100 years - the entrance of the United States into the Great War for the Freedom of the World - a service at which Bishop Brent himself preached a striking sermon. But for this I should not, I think, have had the presumption to ask so busy a man, and one so well known throughout the world, to write our Lenten book. However, as he is a dear personal friend of mine, I took my courage into both hands and asked him after the service to do so; he at once consented. This book is the result. I shall not attempt to summarize its close reasoning and deep thinking. I can only say that its very title gives us the inspiration we need to-day.
