WHERE ARE WE
SEEKING OUR LEARNING?
He who has a why to
live can bear almost any how.
~Friedrich Nietzsche
~Friedrich Nietzsche
It has been said that...
The best teacher is time.
The best book is the world.
The best friend is God.
A fellowship...a covenant...with the Almighty.
The
mightiness of communication between the moral and the immortal...from the threshold
of eternity the message of resurrection
from a resurrected Lord.
Each centuries weapons of war rusting
away...the hollow victories after the constant babbling of pride and
greed...and the words "I am come that you might have peace and that you might
have it more abundantly." echoing again and again only to be shouted down
and muted once again.
Oh that the spark of brotherhood
would burst into a flame that engulfed the world and we could live together arm
in arm rather that thrust apart by heavy handed fist.
And oh that you would pray with me
and ask a friend to pray with us and they ask a friend to pray the following
prayer...
"God give us men! A time like this demands
strong minds,
great hearts, true faith and many ands;
Men who
possess opinions and a will;
Men who have
honor...men who will not lie.
Men who stand
before a demagogue
and damn his
treacherous flatteries without winking;
Tall men,
sun-crowned, who live above the fog
in public duty
and in private thinking;
For while the
rabble, with their thumb-worn creeds,
their large
professions and their little deeds,
mingle in
selfish strife,
Lo!
Freedom weeps,
Wrong rules
the land, and waiting Justice weeps.
(Josieah Gilbert Holland)

Below is a quote from Rev. Wyrick's 9th book
THE SPIRITUAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
It is little wonder that once the war was over,
wretched memories fed anger loud and long.
Neither side could be proud of some things that happened during the war
or at their many prison camps. The
meanness in some men had multiplied.
They felt their uniforms allowed it.
Andersonville, or Camp
Sumter as it was officially known, in
southwest Georgia
By the end of the war, it had held 50,000
prisoners on a piece of land no larger than twenty-six acres.
Some men had called pits in the ground
their home. During its short
fourteen-month existence, 13,000 soldiers who had survived in battle died in
captivity under the most terrible conditions.
When the war was over the superintendent
was hanged.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE BOOK
"Positive,
powerful utterances...skillfully enhancing our understanding and appreciation
of Lincoln
Lt.
Colonel C.A. Olsen (Ret.) Asbury
College
"The Spiritual Abraham Lincoln is
an extremely well written book that investigates what might be
termed the spiritual side of President Lincoln. It's both scholarly and very
readable. I came away impressed at Mr. Wyrick's portrayal of the President and
with an altered and enlarged vision of the man:'
William Hoffman, Award winning fiction writer; author of Blood and Guile, and
Wild Thorn
"Wyrick has authored a wonderful
examination of the spirituality of one of American history's most devoutly
religious leaders...a pleasant and readable book that has a rich depth of
information."
Maynard Pittendreigh Presbyterian
minister
"When it comes to invoking religion in
support of any of their decisions, politicians need to sit at the feet of
Abraham Lincoln. Reinhold Niebuhr once called him 'America Lincoln Lincoln
Dr.
Donald W. Shriver
Emeritus professor at Union Theological Seminary in New York
"V. Neil Wyrick's fine work allows the reader to appreciate Abraham
Lincoln's Christian commitment and his prophetic role in American history.
Should have a wide readership."
James

Wyrick's The Spiritual Abraham Lincoln should be read by anyone attempting to understand the man who was probably
the most complex person to ever hold the office of president of the United States Lincoln Lincoln United States Lincoln America

A QUOTE FROM THOUGHTS POSTED ON MY
OTHER BLOG WYRICK'S WRITINGS ON SUNDAY APRIL 15. ENTITILED
Two stores faced each other across a very
busy street. Their owners were in constant competition
with each other. One day, the owner of
one store put out a sign that read – If
you want it, we have it!
Almost immediately the other owner put out a
sign –If we don’t have it, you don’t
need it!
