Project Gutenberg 2004-12-28 Public domain in the USA. 100 Brooks, Phillips 1835 1893 Addresses by the Right Reverend Phillips Brooks The beauty of a life of service -- Thought and action -- The duty of the Christian business man -- True liberty -- The Christ in whom Christians believe -- Abraham Lincoln. Produced by Marilynda Fraser-Cunliffe and the PG Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Addresses" by Phillips Brooks is a collection of motivational sermons and addresses that reflect the spiritual and ethical concerns of the late 19th century. The work likely aims to guide Christians toward a deeper understanding of service, freedom, and responsibility in their daily lives, emphasizing the significance of living according to Christian principles and the teachings of Jesus Christ. The beginning of the book establishes a profound discussion on the concept of freedom as it relates to service, grounded in a reading from the Gospel of St. John. Phillips Brooks expounds on the paradox that true freedom comes not from a lack of duty but from the fulfillment found in serving others and God. He illustrates this idea by comparing the human experience to metaphors of iron being part of a machine or water flowing freely, emphasizing that embracing one's duty leads to the realization of a genuine and liberated life. Throughout his address, Brooks implores listeners to view service as a path to true liberty and to engage deeply with their faith, encouraging them to embrace the beauty of a life dedicated to the well-being of others through obedience and selflessness.
