Standards of Life and Service   By: (1849-1923)

Book cover

Standards of Life and Service by Thomas Henry Howard is a remarkable piece of literature that delves deep into the essence of living a purposeful and fulfilled life. The book tackles the fundamental principles that govern our everyday existence and challenges readers to elevate their standards and embrace a life of service.

What sets this book apart is the author's distinctive and engaging writing style. Howard presents his ideas with clarity and precision, using real-life examples and anecdotes to enhance the reader's understanding. Through a combination of personal stories and philosophical wisdom, he invites us to reflect on our own lives, urging us to examine our motives and intentions.

One of the book's greatest strengths lies in its emphasis on service. Howard makes a compelling case for the transformative power of selflessness and the profound impact we can have on the world around us. He emphasizes that true fulfillment comes not from material success, but from investing ourselves in acts of kindness and generosity towards others. By illustrating how service can shape our character and bring purpose to our lives, the author inspires readers to reevaluate their priorities and make service a central aspect of their existence.

Another notable aspect of Standards of Life and Service is its exploration of moral standards. Howard argues that our happiness and personal growth are intricately linked to our adherence to principles and values. He challenges the reader to question their own moral compass and provides practical tools for cultivating virtue and integrity. By highlighting the importance of ethical decision-making and showcasing the benefits of living in accordance with high standards, the author guides readers towards a more meaningful and authentic life.

While Standards of Life and Service contains profound insights and valuable lessons, it can feel somewhat repetitive at times. Some concepts are reiterated in different chapters, which may cause readers to feel as though they are covering familiar ground. Additionally, certain sections could benefit from more in-depth exploration or further examples to support the author's claims.

Despite these minor shortcomings, Standards of Life and Service is an engaging and thought-provoking read. Thomas Henry Howard's inspiring words resonate deeply and leave a lasting impact on the reader's mind and heart. Through his wise counsel and practical guidance, he invites us to become better versions of ourselves and to embrace a life of service and moral excellence. This book is undoubtedly a valuable resource for anyone seeking personal growth, fulfillment, and a deeper understanding of the importance of service in shaping a meaningful life.

Those Meetings were widely used by God, and at my request the Commissioner has revised the shorthand reports of his words for this volume. We now send forth his messages in the hope of still further extending their usefulness.

Christianity is a present day call to a good life. If it be anything less than that, it is really not worth troubling about. It is, of course, rich in holy memories, and venerable in its association with all that is true and best in the past. But it is not only ancient in its origin and triumphs it is intensely modern in its touch with human need, and in its demand that the spirit of righteousness should be the controlling force in human life in the common life of to day...
