About this book
A teacher takes heart from a canary's song after a freezing night damages the room she has prepared for children. John T. Faris begins with this recovery from discouragement, then gathers examples of courage in ordinary duties, personal setbacks and difficult decisions. His short sections move from controlling anger and forgiving injuries to working steadily, acting honestly and helping others. Biblical figures, soldiers and people at work supply the stories through which he explains his advice.
Faith runs through chapters on companionship with God, prayer and the Bible. Alongside these sources of strength, Faris considers friendship, nature, conscience and useful service. An account of a Texas property dealer holding to his principles brings the discussion into everyday business.
