Produktbeschreibung
""The Water of Life and Other Sermons"" is a collection of sermons by the renowned English clergyman and novelist, Charles Kingsley. The book includes a series of thought-provoking and inspiring sermons that address various topics, including faith, morality, and spirituality. Kingsley's sermons are grounded in his deep understanding of the Bible and his commitment to social justice. He addresses issues such as poverty, oppression, and inequality, and encourages his readers to live a life of compassion, empathy, and courage. The book is a powerful reminder of the importance of faith and the role of religion in shaping our lives and our world. It is a must-read for anyone seeking spiritual guidance and inspiration in their daily lives.But the text speaks not of earthly water. No doubt the words 'Water of Life' have a spiritual and mystic meaning. Yet that alone does not prove the inspiration of the text. They had a spiritual and mystic meaning already among the heathens of the East--Greeks and barbarians alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
