{"product_id":"2940149192083","title":"Thoughts on Life and Religion","description":"This book has been prepared in accordance with a wish expressed by many known and unknown admirers of my husband's writings, who desire to possess in a portable form the passages that have specially appealed to them in his different works, and in the Life and Letters.\u003cbr\u003eI have taken this opportunity of adding extracts from private letters, and from the writings he left unfinished, which would not otherwise have become known to any but his own family or a few intimate friends.\u003cbr\u003eThose who have read the Life and Letters, do not need to be told that Max Müller lived from his earliest years in the firm conviction that all is wisely ordered in this life, and 'all for our real good, though we do not always see it, and though we cannot venture to fathom the wisdom guiding our steps through life.'\u003cbr\u003eTo others his unswerving trust and faith as shown in these extracts may be a revelation, for he seldom talked on such subjects. This trust and faith gave him strength through the bitter struggles of his early life, taught him resignation during the years when the dearest wish of his heart seemed unattainable, supported him later when those he tenderly loved were snatched from him by death, and upheld him in his last long and depressing illness.\u003cbr\u003eMy earnest desire is that this little book may prove a help and comfort to many exposed to like trials, and strengthen those whose path now stretches before them as a sunny avenue, to meet the sorrows that almost surely await them as life advances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS\u003cbr\u003e  PAGE\u003cbr\u003eThe Art of Life, 1\u003cbr\u003eThe Beautiful, 4\u003cbr\u003eThe Bible, 6\u003cbr\u003eChildren, 12\u003cbr\u003eChrist, the Logos, 13\u003cbr\u003eChristianity, 21\u003cbr\u003eDeath, 34\u003cbr\u003eThe Deity, 44\u003cbr\u003eThe Divine, 57\u003cbr\u003eDoubts, 60\u003cbr\u003eEvolution of Religion, 66\u003cbr\u003eFaith, 70\u003cbr\u003eThe Fatherhood of God, 73\u003cbr\u003eFuture Life, 74\u003cbr\u003eThe Infinite, 87\u003cbr\u003eKnowledge, 96\u003cbr\u003eLanguage, 99\u003cbr\u003eLife, 103\u003cbr\u003eLove, 121\u003cbr\u003e[viii]Mankind, 129\u003cbr\u003eMind or Thought, 132\u003cbr\u003eMiracles, 135\u003cbr\u003eMusic, 138\u003cbr\u003eNature, 139\u003cbr\u003eObscurity, 142\u003cbr\u003eOld Age, 143\u003cbr\u003eReligion and Religions, 145\u003cbr\u003eRevelation, 184\u003cbr\u003eThe Rig-Veda, 189\u003cbr\u003eScience, 190\u003cbr\u003eThe Self, 192\u003cbr\u003eSorrow and Suffering, 198\u003cbr\u003eThe Soul, 208\u003cbr\u003eTheosophy, 215\u003cbr\u003eTruth, 217\u003cbr\u003eThe Will of God, 222\u003cbr\u003eWonder, 226\u003cbr\u003eWords, 228\u003cbr\u003eWork, 230\u003cbr\u003eThe World, 233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bronson Tweed Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175658733808,"sku":"2940149192083","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149192083_p0.jpg?v=1763713282","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149192083","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
