About This Book

The author expounds a biblical principle that every action yields corresponding consequences, developing the idea across short topical chapters. Drawing on scripture and common experience, he argues that individuals, families, and nations inevitably reap what they sow, that like produces like, and that spiritual investments yield life while fleshly pursuits bring corruption. Practical illustrations address honesty in business, the generational effects of vice, and the limits of ignorance as an excuse, and chapters discuss forgiveness, retribution, and urgent warnings urging moral responsibility and repentance.

About the Author

Dwight Lyman Moody

Dwight Lyman Moody (1837-1899) was a prominent American evangelist and publisher known for his influential role in the revivalist movement of the late 19th century. He founded the Moody Church in Chicago and established the Moody Bible Institute, which continues to educate and train Christian leaders today. Moody's works often focus on practical Christian living and biblical teachings, with notable titles such as "Bible Characters" and "Men of the Bible." His engaging anecdotes and illustrations, as seen in "Moody's Anecdotes and Illustrations," have made his sermons accessible and impactful, contributing significantly to evangelical literature.
