Sinopsis
Excerpt from World-Builders All: The Task of the Rising Generation
The main object of the writer is to prepare the hearts of his readers for after-war problems, so that the after-war world may be a better world. The sacrifices of our fighting men will, he urges, be useless if the nation resumes the habit of selfishness after the War; what is wanted is a new spirit, like the war-spirit, but bigger and better - what he calls super~ patriotism, when a man is inspired by the spirit, not only of his country, but by that of Christ, in his fight in God's War for the triumph of good over evil. The rebuilding of the Ruins is aptly compared to the history of Nehemiah building and fighting together.

Excerpt from World-Builders All: The Task of the Rising Generation
No happier outcome of a generous rivalry between two Public Schools could be imagined than that an Old Harrovian should come to Eton as a Messenger of the National Mission. Services of forty minutes each were held in the College Chapel at 9 p.m. on the 30th and 31st of October and theist of November, 1916, and at 7.30 a.m. on All Saints' Day there was a Special Celebration of the Holy Communion in memory of the Dead and in self-dedication of the Living. All the services were voluntary, and at the Evening Services the Chapel was filled almost to its utmost capacity - a sign that the boys were ready to receive the Message, for which they had been prepared by the Head Master, and to welcome it heartily when it came.

World-Builders All: The Task of the Rising Generation (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an urgent call to action for the rising generation, drawing on the sacrifices of WWI soldiers to inspire a new age of selflessness. The author argues that the great tragedy of the war was not the bloodshed itself, but the moral decay that led to it. To prevent a repeat of such horrors, the author believes we must restore God to his rightful place in our lives, and live with the understanding that our spiritual existence is just as important as our physical one. Drawing on personal letters and firsthand accounts from the front, the author shows how the horrors of war paradoxically brought many soldiers closer to God and gave them a newfound appreciation for life's simple pleasures. Through numerous real-life examples of sacrifice and resilience, this book makes a powerful case for forging a new path in life, one that places God at the center of our decision-making and leads to a deeper understanding of life's purpose. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
