Contents include: ¿The Pilgrim and his Pilgrimage¿, ¿The Voice of the Waves¿, ¿The Voice of the Evening Wind¿, ¿The Voice of the Night¿, and ¿The Voice of the New Day¿. Harold Bell Wright (1872¿1944) was an American author, widely considered to have been the first American to sell more than a million copies of a book - and the first to make over a million dollars from writing fiction. Many antiquarian texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition.

Autorenporträt

Harold Bell Wright, a well-known American author, speaker, and clergyman who lived from May 4, 1872, to May 24, 1944, is most remembered for his widely read books from the early 20th century. Wright was raised in a pious Baptist household and was raised in Rome, New York. His early upbringing was heavily influenced by religion, which laid the groundwork for his future work as a writer and clergyman. Before focusing on the ministry, Wright attended Boston University College of Oratory to further his studies in music. Although he was a pastor in many places, he gained widespread notoriety for his literary works. Wright pursued his writing career in addition to his ministry work, giving sermons and discussing social and theological concerns. He rose to prominence as a speaker and was well-liked outside of the literary community. Wright's ability to entwine moral teachings into compelling stories has had a significant influence on American literature. This talent enables his writings to be both thought-provoking and entertaining.
