Excerpt from The Modern Prodigal: A Series of Practical Talks to Young People
The eight chapters of this little book Will, I trust, cause some young life to think seriously upon the dan ger-points along the way. Temptation, especially to the young, is hard to resist unless they are strongly fortified. Many a young life has gone down to ruin because of a lack of practical training concerning the dangers along life's journey. This book, therefore, is to aid in giving such training.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the idea of temptation and the importance of strong ethical grounding to resist it. During the protagonist's prodigal journey, the author emphasizes how external ideas concerning life can shape a young person's path, and how the consequences of straying from moral guidance can lead to ruin. Woven throughout is the idea that it is never too late to change one's ways and return to a righteous path. The author deftly uses the protagonist's journey to explore the dangers of extravagance, the pitfall of relying on inherited wealth or status, the importance of seeking education and self-improvement, and the necessity of resisting a life enslaved to fleeting pleasures.
