Book Description

Excerpt from Graded Bible Stories There is a demand rapidly taking form and expression for a new modern program of Christian nurture. The de mand arises from those who confess to more or less defeat and failure in trying to get results by following the old program. They are aware of their failure, which is not the case with all. They are forced to admit that new conditions, customs and ideals, have made the old program ineffective and impracticable. The home, the school, and the church once dealt with the problem of Christian nurture, but now they do not. The present function of the church school scarcely needs to be named as an exception, for there are not many schools which really deal with this problem; and there are fewer still which succeed with it. The working out of the problem of Christian nurture has no doubt been greatly retarded by insistent demands for standardization and uniformity. Too often those who have set up the standards have not apprehended the problem. Great labor, expenditure and organization have been conspicuously in evidence, Without producing the results of a true Christian nurture. Not only so, they have stood in the way and pre vented other attempts to solve the problem. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
