The best book in the world!!!

I've read this book at least 15 times and everytime I read it I'm amazed at how much I learn and how different the message seems to me each time I read it. The message is so perfect for today that you hardly believe it was written so long ago. If I could give one to everyone in the world I would, the message, the writing, the underlying depth of this life changing book is truly magnifiscent! Read this book, and maybe it will touch your life as it has mine!

A Century Ahead of its Time

Harold Bell Wright may have published "The Eyes of the Word in 1915, but its message is directly applicable to today. Behind the captivating saga of a portrait painter romancing a violinist under the scrutiny of his famous novelist yokefellow, a renowned media critic, and mismatched promiscuous art patrons is a morality play that is just as timely as it was a nearly a hundred years ago.The narrative repeatedly laments the success bestowed upon much so called "art" that debauches that title. Conrad LaGrange, the celebrated author, begrudgingly iterates that his wealth and esteem have been acquired by accentuating the profane and sacrificing the nobility of his profession. Reading of such a contretemps, it is hard not to ponder the likes of Madonna, Howard Stern, Roseanne Barr and host of other modern icons who've built their careers on the meretricious rather than the meritorious.As usual Harold Bell Wright displays his masterful command of the written word. Few other authors can match him when it comes to unfolding action in a manner that engages the reader from the first sentence to the satisfying conclusion
