Not everything in this book, written by a cloistered monk more than 550 years ago as a spiritual guide for his fellow monks, is directly applicable to the modern secular life, but so much is both useful and inspirational that it has appeared in well over 6,000 editions.
The text of this HyperCard edition is based on an uncopyrighted edition published by the Moody Bible Institute in the 1950's. The archaic verb tenses and pronouns have been modernized and some awkward or obscure sentences have been rewritten, usually with the help of a later, much better (but with more archaic language) edition of the Moody Press, (also uncopyrighted) edited by Paul M. Bechtel. All Bible quotes are from the New International Version. •
