First edition of E. Stanley Jones's Christian inspirational classic Abundant Living, this ex-library copy has an inscription to its former owner, Blanche. Although the dust jacket is chipped along the edges and the bottom of the spine is bumped, it doesn't appear as though the members of the Jacob A. Cole Circulating Library of Park Methodist Church or Blanche spent much time reading this book. The pages are clean and crisp and the binding is tight.
Confidant to Franklin D. Roosevelt, creator of the Christian Ashram movement, respected by Mahatma Gandhi and Nehru, nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, E. Stanley Jones was truly an amazing person. A deeply devout Christian, yet open to the broader world of other faiths and ideas, Jones was a Methodist minister and missionary who spent decades in India.
