Synopsis

Praying and Working: Being Some Account of What Men Can Do When in Earnest is a book written by William Fleming Stevenson and published in 1873. The book is a collection of essays that explore the relationship between prayer and work, and how these two practices can be used together to achieve great things. The author argues that prayer and work are not mutually exclusive, but rather complementary practices that can help individuals achieve their goals and make a positive impact on the world. The essays cover a range of topics, including the importance of prayer in daily life, the value of hard work, and the role of faith in achieving success. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for readers of all backgrounds and levels of religious belief. Overall, Praying and Working is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that encourages readers to strive for excellence in all aspects of their lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It is possible that men speculate as much as ever, that there are as many poets and painters and sculptors, that there is as much love and culture and appreciation of art, as much patient study and thought jbut the entire age is stamped with an unmistakable energy and force. It is an age of gigantic and universal toil, possessed with the idea that there is work to be done; restless and insatiable, resolute and quiet, in pursuing this idea; a practical, sagacious, ready-witted age. Work is lauded and glorified, even for its own sake, and without regard to its end. It is held to be something sacred, a thoroughly manly and almost devout pursuit. Nay, it has been exalted into a kind of deity in our day, to be worshipped with a pure and rigorous devotion. Life is to be doing, because it is felt more than ever that there is power in life.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
