Solomon Benjamin Shaw
(3,875 Sterne; 4 Bewertungen)
Solomon Benjamin Shaw was a Methodist Episcopal minister, historian, essayist and editor. Solomon and Etta Ellen were married in McBride, Montcalm County, Michigan. Solomon resided in Chicago, Illinois for a time before taking up his principal residence in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Rev. Shaw labored on what he referred to as the "undenominational line". This stand constituted a middle ground between the association plan favored by the denomination-oriented members of the National and the independent congregationalists of the movement. "Our work is not to build up or tear down churches, but to save souls and to lead God's people into the glorious experience of entire sanctification regardless of denominational lines," he said. - Summary by Tim Cote (2 hr 43 min)

This is a very difficult book to rate and review. It is a collection of anecdotes that was originally published in the 1880's and then edited and republished in 1955. The stories come from a variety of sources and are all purported to be true. The book was published for children, and the language is simple and accessible. However, society has changed much over the years, and children of today would find the book foreign and possibly frightening. In fact, I would not give this to a child to read or listen to. There are just too many stories about hopeless, dying children. Instead I would use it as a resource, picking out the incidents that are more suitable. There were some amazing incidents in the book, and having seen or personally heard of similar things myself, I see value in it. It's just not as suited to today's children as it was to the original Victorian readers. The narrator was excellent and I thank him for his hard work.
