Summary |
small book, 52 pages, brown cloth hard back cover Excerpt from The Second Mile Now, when the Sermon on the Mount faces us with those strict and startling injunctions to give coat and cloak when a coat is wanted, or to take two blows when one is offered......we are manifestly dealing with a dramatic presentation of this favorite and characteristic truth of Jesus, that only an unstinted willingness to do more than anyone care ask makes possible a liberal and Christian character.............Mercy may be shown in war, by one foe to another, and mutual courtesy between individuals upon the firing line is an occurrence in almost every battle - only that is not what war means." - from the text |
