Beautifully Written Journey into the Past

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A. F. Winnington Ingram's The After-glow of a Great Reign Four Addresses Delivered in St. Paul's Cathedral contains four sermons that he delivered in the early 20th century. If you are like me, you wanted to download a Kindle book for free, and you stumbled upon this work, because it was first on the list. I think Christians will find inspiration in the beautiful sermons, and others might enjoy spending some time in England after the death of a beloved leader.
THE SERMONS
----------------------
The sermons were given upon the death of Queen Victoria in 1901. In the first one, he addresses the Queen's truthfulness. He criticizes social climbers, businessmen who practice deceit, and others who disrupt the unity of Christians. He offers advice on how to approach life in a way that will make it an honest one of pure motives.
In the second sermon he asks how one can emulate the moral courage of the Queen. Of course, the answer is faith in Jesus. The vivid imagery makes this worth reading--I wish I could write so well.
In the third one, he discusses the rainbow around her throne. I was struck by how closely he associates the purity of the Queen's reign with that of God on his throne. It seemed to me that he was close to deifying her, and it reminded me of just how different we thought of world leaders a century ago. At least, I can't think of anyone I would describe in such a way.
In the final sermon, he examines here kindness and sympathy. By now, you get the picture. The Queen is a blank slate onto which he can attach all of these wonderful qualities that he thinks are essential for people in the nation to cultivate. When he talks about her, he is really talking about how we ought to be, and not how she was.
KINDLE FOR THE PC
----------------------
I don't have a Kindle. I downloaded Kindle for the PC and read it on my computer. It is a little like reading a PDF, except you don't have to mess around with scrolling, because the Kindle interface splits it up into pages that fit your screen. I enjoyed it.
My one complaint is that I cannot find how to move directly to a chapter. When writing this review I wanted to go back to Chapter III, but had to scroll through the whole book. I don't know if all content from Kindle is like this on the PC, but if it is, that is an annoying drawback.
