What reading level is The Reality of Religion / By Henry J. Van Dyke, Jr book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He it is that calls me and commands me and binds me. He it is that reveals to me this world within the world, and summons me to live aright. He it is that hath " be- set me behind and before, and laid His hand upon me." " Whither shall I go from His presence ? If I climb up into Heaven He is there ; if I go down into Hell He is there also." The universe is filled with His voice, saying, "Thou shalt," and "Thou shalt hot." But, mark you, there is no constraint laid upon me. My will is free. I ca...n, I must, choose for myself between good and evil.
And here is the wonder of it ; here is the manifest presence of the living God. For if the moral law were natural and imper- sonal, it would bind us resistlessly as gravity or electricity, as the thousand forces which Digitized by VjOOQIC THE LIVING GOD, 41 move us hither and thither in the ordinary courses of our lives without our will. But here, at the very moment when the loftiest interests of our being are at stake, at the turning where the fate of the soul must be decided, when we are conscious that the issues of life and death hang in the balance of our action, — at this moment the com- pulsion is withdrawn, the way is open, the will is left at liberty to choose the right or to reject it.
