Synopsis

Discover the power of going beyond the call of duty in this inspirational work that argues love becomes real when it goes the second mile.

It shows how sacrificial kindness, not pay or praise, drives true change in individuals and communities. This edition draws from sermons that frame Christian love as a practical force. It contrasts duty done grudgingly with the joy that comes from serving others freely, even when no reward is promised. Through stories of faith and perseverance, it presents a vision of a life shaped by unwavering compassion and a belief in something greater than personal gain.

  • Explore why loving enemies and serving without expectation is the core of Christian ethics.
  • Learn how willingness transforms duty into privilege and strengthens character.
  • See how faith connects personal sacrifice to a larger, hopeful view of humanity.
  • Find practical guidance for applying generous love in everyday challenges.
Ideal for readers seeking timeless, actionable faith principles and a call to generous living.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Second Mile HEN lago says about Desdemona that she holds it a vice in her goodness not to do more than is requested, he lays his dis criminating finger on a trait of character not ordinarily worked up in the systems of ethics. Nowhere does he better justify his own comment on himself, I am nothing if not criti cal. And it is precisely this trait of character on which lago with his devilish ingenuity lighted for his evil pur pose, that Jesus made the crown of the moral life. The distinctively Christian quality is to hold it a vice in our goodness not to do more than is requested.
