Stories Worth Re-Reading: 72 Heart Touching Tales of Human Endeavor, Triumphs and Virtue

ByVarious

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
This selection of inspiring real-life anecdotes are a collection of noble human endeavor; the rescue of others during disasters, the overcoming of addictions, and triumphs over adversity are but a few of the subjects. Collected and republished in the Review and Herald in 1913, these tales together act as a compendium of inspiration. Many of the protagonists are simply ordinary human beings, neither famous nor heralded, who confronted adversity with admirable nobility. The very nature of mankind ebbs from the pages; the adaptability and simple, down-home honesty in many stories are moving. That all are based firmly in truth and attested to by witnesses present lends further poignance. The selection of 72 anecdotes span over decades of American culture. Various stories have backdrops such as the 1903 San Francisco earthquake, the westward expansion of the USA, and the formation of churches in far-flung corners of North America. The final part of this volume comprises a collection of poetry.
