Solid Biblical Advice for Any Age

Addresses to Young Men is a work designed to aid the problems of the teen-ager growing into manhood yet conveys solid advice that could be directed toward an adult audience just as well. The auther seems to sit down with the reader in a quiet study to explore the nature and duties of life with the reader--pointing time and time again to the discipline of biblical truth in morality and piety (two words whose meaning has soured in a post-modern world). The book is well written and has a smooth flow of language and ideas. I particularly enjoyed the many solid aphorisms to be found from cover to cover. For example: "Piety and sound morality are a nations strength, more than it's armies and it's navies; its wealth more than it's commerce; and it's glory, more than it's literature, science, and victories" (p. 31). This and hundreds more. I would recommend this book to all who want to examine the true meaning of "success" and "happiness" in this world who also have an eye toward the world to come.
