Présentation de l'éditeur
The Beasts of Ephesus are still going about seeking whom they may devour. They change their form but not their natures. Every young person has to battle with these as did Paul. This book will enable them to discern the ravenous beasts even under the sheeps clothing and it will arm them for the fight with the panoply of God. This is a book from the right source. It is evidently wrought out of a pastors loving heart. It is written by one who has seen with pain, and sometimes with anguish, the beasts rending their victims, by one who has longed to leap into the arenaand slay the monsters that are slaying the young. Only a pastor who has mourned over mangled lives and wasted possibilities in youth could have written such a book. There is in these chapters much of the woe is me if I write not this book. It is written not to satisfy a literary dilletanteism, but a yearning love for young souls. This is a temperate book. It does not denounce amusements in a wholesale, indiscriminate way.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a powerful and timely call to action for young Christians grappling with the temptations of a world that often seems hostile to faith. Written from the perspective of a pastor deeply concerned for the spiritual well-being of his flock, the author addresses a range of issues that were particularly pertinent to young people in the late 19th century. These issues resonate with modern readers as well, as the book offers a timeless perspective on enduring challenges like navigating city life, managing finances, and resisting the allure of worldly distractions. The author acknowledges that the "Beasts of Ephesus", a metaphorical term for the forces that threaten faith, still lurk in every age and place. He guides the reader to identify these beasts, not as literal creatures, but as the insidious influences of the world, the flesh, and the devil, which can tempt us towards moral compromise. The book explores how these forces manifest in various aspects of daily life, including social gatherings, entertainment choices, and even the pursuit of wealth. The author's perspective is rooted in the conviction that true Christian victory is not achieved through mere repression, but through the active pursuit of a life inspired by the love of Christ. He urges young Christians to develop a firm spiritual purpose and a clear Christian policy, grounded in a commitment to God's will. The book's strength lies in its insightful guidance on how to confront these challenges with integrity and purpose, ultimately finding joy and meaning in service to the greater good. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
