What reading level is The Things That Abide book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whatever he did was the spontaneous expression of an intrepid simplicity. Jesus exhibited proofs of his Divinity, not in the strangeness and dis- similarity of his birth, not in thaumatur- gical feats, not in disregard of the laws of physics or of growth. These are not of his nature, and they would not be revelatory of a God w^ho works by law and by process. He was unusual and transcendent in his Greater and Lesser Miracles 71 simplicity and spiritual integrity, in the directness of his intuiti...ons, in his sym- pathy, in his Humanity.
The mysteries of darkness, of incanta- tion, of trance make no open door into the kingdom of God. I do not say it is im- possible to find God in such abnormal searchings. But the open door is other- where. The revelation which brings hope and healing and the Kingdom is in sun- light, in love, in unselfishness, in the daily doing of a consecrated life. The message from the eternal world is not to be discov- ered in the curious writings of uncanny hands. It speaks in the heart of man, it is the upspringing of the spirit in deeds of love and truth, it is the still, small voice that urges to gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control.
