This collection of lectures by Catherine Booth and William Booth
form a passionate call to Christians to improve the dire social
status of society's poor and downtrodden. Along with her husband
William Booth, who assisted in the preparation and publication of
this splendid book, Catherine Booth was a fervent supporter of
Christian charity; extending support and aid to help the
disadvantaged was seen by the author to be a crucial tenet of good
character. Throughout her life, Catherine Booth would point to
Christ as a prime example of a Christian virtue and self-sacrifice.
At the time Catherine Booth wrote these talks in the late 19th
century, levels of poverty in the United States and Europe were
abysmally great. It is by casting her gaze back to the life of
Jesus Christ that Booth sees a clear inspiration for all in the
face of such degradation. Only when Christians unite in opposition
to poverty will social reform and improvements take hold in wider
society.
