This book was written almost 100 years ago and still serves as a light in our information drenched world. Love, faith, and abundance weave their way through the pages of this book to create a tangible plan of action for the inspired. So often esoteric topics leave you with a feeling and not a plan, yet this book let's you know that in no uncertain terms, "That faith without works is dead" and life without love is a charade.
Beautiful poems, phenomenal thoughts, provoke a sense of urgency for the reader to move past hope to the combustionable effects of faith filled activities.

I own a hardbound copy of this book and I love it. This new paperback which I purchased as a gift for a family member had so many spelling errors in it that you couldn't understand its content.

The content of this book is marvelous; it's unfortunate that the eBook version appears to be flawed. Unfortunately, the optical character reading required to digitize this book results in lots of flaws. I obtained my epub copy (also very flawed) from a public domain site, researched epub editing tools, downloaded a free epub editing tool and cleaned up the epub version that I got online, and I admit I took a full day and a half cleaning it up (as well as learning about the editing tool), but it looks great now and plays well on my non-Kindle version eBook reader. As to the content - what can I say except inspiring and powerful. I felt privileged working so hard on the epub version knowing that I was "touching" Larson's very words and helping to turn them into a modern format for hopefully others to enjoy. I've signed on to a public domain book archive internet site to which I will be uploading my cleaned-up copy within the next day or so. As I told Druid in response to their comment, I'd be happy to share my version that I've cleaned up and to help anyone with an eBook reader learn how to take advantage of the many online sources for public domain books. My next project is the marvelous "Just Be Glad" booklet by Larson. My best to all who study Larson; our lives should well be changed as a result. [...]

I would give this book 4 to 5 stars on content, however the Kindle sample is absolutely FULL of typos, bad enought to render some words and phrases completely indecipherable. The page breaks and page numbering are also poorly done with page numbers showing up in the middle of paragraphs and no breaks between chapters. Until the publisher fixes this I would recommend the print version only.
