Four reasons have mainly weighed with me. The first is, that my experience as an examiner of candidates for Holy Orders has convinced me that many of them obtain their knowledge of the first principles of the religion which they propose to teach, in a very unsatisfactory and haphazard way. This is partly due to the absence, at least until lately, of satisfactory text books. Few candidates attempt to read Pearson's great standard work on the subject, and most of those who have attempted it find him very abstruse and difficult to follow. Moreover, it must be admitted that in a good many respects, in spite of the still inestimable value of the work, Pearson's manner and matter are out of date.

All of the things that we see on television and read about in books and newspapers are vividly planted in our minds for us to decipher and do with what we will, to our advantage or to our disadvantage. In all of this downloading of exposure to the modern world, we tend to pick out people that we admire, that we wish we could be like, and that we might call our heroes. But how many of them are really worthy of our admiration or of our imitation or exhibit a heroic character that one might call Christ-like? Wouldn’t you want your hero to be an extraordinary person? Heroes can come in all shapes and sizes, are of all ages and kind, and might be living or dead. It is good to have those people in our lives who’ll help us work toward striving to be that better person, to have that better life, and who’ll inspire us to reach the ultimate goals that we seek to accomplish.
