Shepherd, Ambrose
Men in the Making
E-text prepared by Al Haines
"Men in the Making" by Ambrose Shepherd is a collection of ethical addresses written in the early 20th century. The book aims to guide young men through the challenges of life by emphasizing the formation of character, the importance of moral integrity, and the need for responsibility. Shepherd draws upon biblical references and personal anecdotes to illustrate his points, creating a motivational tone throughout his discourse. The opening of "Men in the Making" introduces themes of youth and responsibility, using the biblical figure Terah as a foundational example. Shepherd discusses Terah's life and his ultimate failure to fully pursue a new faith, highlighting how a person's later years are greatly influenced by the choices made in youth. The discourse emphasizes that forming the right principles and habits early on is crucial, as it prepares an individual for the trials of adulthood. The preacher challenges young men to act decisively and live with intention, cautioning against complacency and the allure of momentary pleasures that can lead to regret in later years.
