{"product_id":"2940015849332","title":"Making the Most of Life","description":"A WORD OF INTRODUCTION.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlexander was accustomed to say; “Philip of Macedon gave me life, but it was Aristotle who taught me how to make the most of life.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo have the gift of life is a solemn thing. Life is God's most sacred trust. It is not ours to do with as we please; it must be accounted for, every particle, every power, every possibility of it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese chapters are written with the purpose and hope of stimulating those who may read them to earnest and worthy living. If they seem urgent, if they present continually motives of thoughtfulness, if they dwell almost exclusively on the side of obligation and responsibility, if they make duty ever prominent and call to self-renunciation and self-sacrifice, leaving small space for play, it is because life itself is really most serious, and because we must meet it seriously, recognizing its sacred meaning and girding ourselves for it with all earnestness and energy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf this book shall teach any how to make the most of the life God has entrusted to them, that will be reward enough for the work of its preparation. To this service it is affectionately dedicated, in the name of Him who made the most of his blessed life by losing it in love's sacrifice, and who calls us also to die to self that we may live unto God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e         —J.
