What reading level is Religion And Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is the same everywhere. In the world we see men apparently singled out for distinction. Honors come to them, they are placed in positions of dignity and power. Fools regard this as the result of chance and good luck. They do not take into account the long years of silent preparation, the immense labor 19 1 THE TEMPLE OF GOD that set that man above his fellows and made him the natural and logical candidate for the position. If the crisis always finds its man it is because the man has foreseen... and compelled the crisis. Think of Lincoln. We read a book rich in wisdom and knowledge and we envy the author his happy ease of expression. But if we knew what that happy ease had cost him we should not envy him. Balzac spent ten years in form- ing a style that suited him, then ten years more in forming one that suited Paris.
It is exactly the same with our religious life. We set out with the idea that God will do it all. The temple is so beautiful that we think we shall never wish to go out. Our faith satisfies us so completely that we feel only pitying contempt for doubters.
