Excerpt from Athletes of the Bible, Unfamiliar Aspects of Familiar Men: A Study Course for Boys and Young MenIt is sometimes said that there are Bibles within the Bible - a Bible for youth, a Bible for age, a Bible for the sick, a Bible for the well in truth, a Bible suited to the various periods and moods of life. All this is another proof of the universality of the Great Book. Springing from all kinds Of life, as it surely does, it comes back again to all kinds of life with its peculiarly inspiring message.And surely we do not read far in the holy pages without discovering that there is a boy's Bible within the big Bible. Each of us can recall the stories that made their appeals to us in our boyhood. We were fond of Moses, of Joseph, of Daniel, of Samuel, and of that anonymous lad who helped Jesus with the miracle Of the loaves and fishes. These serve as illustrations of the fact that the nature of a boy will select a Bible from the Bible. Other portions of the record wait until the youth arrives at maturity, while still others wait to comfort him in his Old age.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
