A timeless story of love and self-sacrifice, this book is the definitve commentary (second to the Bible, of course), on the true meaning of charity.
The plot concerns a young man whose life is nothing more than an endless round of pleasure-seeking activity- until someone gives their life for his. In one moment he sees the true meaning of love and charity, and resolves to spend the rest of his days in the service of others. Along the way, he discovers that the price one must pay to walk in the footsteps of the Master is a small one, but one that is purifying and eternal in its effect on the soul.
To read this book is to gain a glimpse into the conversion process of a man whose life is changed forever due to the selfless example and courage of a true man of God.
While some of the medical details in the book may be outdated, the principles espoused are timeless, and will influence the reader for good.
