“Consider, for one thing, that Christianity becomes vital in our lives when it meets a deep and consciously felt need. In any realm the sense of reality is proportionate to our awareness of need. No one could convince us that food is a mere form—we need it. No one could persuade us that inventive science or the physician's skill is a mere form—they meet urgent wants.”
Fosdick provides insight into real people, a diagnosis of their strength and weaknesses, and wisdom for personal action. Also includes twenty-four other sermons which represent years of wartime preaching and reflect the concerns brought to him by multitudes of people.
