dependence. Whether we are thanking God
or pleading our case before His throne of mercy, we are in essence saying,

In a fight with another boy, he came out a poor second.
That night, he tearfully cursed the boy and vowed to get even. The next day, the Meyer family went on a picnic and his mother who had heard him the night before placed him in a little clearing that had a mountain wall behind it.
“Now, Louis,” she said, “Repeat what you said last night.”
His face turned red as he mumbled “Damn you.”
Shout them his mother demanded. And when he did the words came bouncing back off the mountain wall overwhelming him.
She made him repeat it over and over again.
Finally, she said, “Alright, that’s enough. Now shout ‘Bless you’
Louis Meyer never forgot the lesson of the echo.
It shaped his thinking and his doing for the rest of his life.
“But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive you.” (Matthew 6:15)

BELOW ARE SOME OF THE RAVE REVIEWS ABOUT
"THE SPIRITUAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN."
++++++++++++++++
"Positive, powerful utterances...skillfully enhancing our
understanding and appreciation of Lincoln while revealing the Divine source of
his strength."
Lt. Colonel C.A. Olsen (Ret.) Asbury College (Professor Ret.)
"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's greatest
theologian.' Why so great? Because he invariably distinguished between human
works and the works of the Almighty. As Wyrick
says, 'He wore the mantLe of humility easily: because he was more impressed
with what God was doing in the world than with what he, president of the United
States in the midst of an awful crisis, was doing. That is why in his last
major speech he distinguished between both human causes in the Civil War and
the Almighty's 'own purposes.' Lincoln would have agreed that it is better to
leave God-talk out of politics than to decorate human proposals with divinity.
This is a book for our American time. Through his careful study of Lincoln's
career, Wyrick compels us to remember that piety belongs in politics only when piety transcends
politics."
Dr.
Donald W. Shriver
Emeritus
professor at Union Theological Seminary in New York. Author of An Ethic for Enemies: Forgiveness in
Politics
"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 H. Smylie Professor of Church History (Ret.) Union Theological
Seminary, Richmond, Virginia
"Neil Wyrick's The Spiritual Abraham Lincolnshould 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. Dr. Wyrick is intent on demonstrating that the spirituality so often
expressed in Lincoln's writings and speeches was not merely lip service to a
Deity, but rather expressions of a profound faith in a real God. It was this
faith that provided the wisdom, compassion, insight and sometimes steel that
Lincoln would need in fullmeasure as he led the United States
through the Civil War. Dr. Wyrick's clear and unpretentious style of
presentation is very much in keeping with the character ofhis subject, and in
so doing, Wyrick makes his point very well that Lincoln, his beliefs, and the
faith that formed them, are as relevant to a troubled America in 2004 as they
were in 1863."
