Description
Summary:"Life grows more complex with each passing year; new correspondencies are offered, new relations are opened up, and as a consequence new perplexities are encountered. Pre-eminently in our time a reliable guide and counsellor is God's messenger. The author of this book has undertaken to place before young men a plain statement of the vital principles of conduct. This he has sought to do through a great variety of topics, with abundant concrete illustrations, and with free quotations from famous and attractive writers. Dr. Kirtley's own thought informs each chapter, and his warm interest in and sympathy for young men breathes through every page. His method is rather that of life than of logic. The result is a unique volume. It is believed to be wholly unlike any other offered to the young men of our time. It cannot fail to be interesting and ought to be most stimulating and helpful"--Introduction. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved).
