| Essential reading to understand the cultural crises of our time. Van Prinsterer correctly saw that the French Revolution was the logical development of the anti-Christian Revolutionary principle. This principle is still alive and well, and keeps bein ...more | |

“Another real danger to young men is thoughtlessness and lack of consideration. Lack of thought is one simple reason why thousands of souls are cast away forever.
