In these chaotic times, when many people who claim to be Christian
are searching for “relevance” in the secular to justify their
worldly aspirations, much of the Christian heritage is being
ignored or discarded. But Miss Price turns time back for a moment
and in these early Victorian lyrics she finds surprisingly sound,
contemporary meaning that stands boldly above the ideas of
today’s so-called radical thinkers. Each line of this
long-favored song responds to Miss Price’s interpretation with
stirring impact—whether it be in strong yet soft tones that
comfort the hearts of the lonely, the troubled, and the suffering
or in stunning crescendo to rouse the inattentive and careless.
Through Miss Price’s weaving of the lyrics into her book, Just As
I Am, the familiar music of the song accompanies the reader from
page to page. Then she syncopates the theme, illuminating it for a
fresh appraisal in the light of today’s burning issues. She does
this by applying the song’s ethically and psychologically sound
thesis both to her own life and to the lives of persons in
tragically real confrontations with “fightings and fears within,
without.” Each example shines like a beacon to guide the
faltering to a Christian understanding and a peace unfulfilled by a
secular situation ethic. How should a Christian view the war? What
course to consolations for the widow and parents of a young man
killed in Vietnam? What choice for the guilt-ridden man who loves
his wife, his children and his mistress? Is there a “correct”
way to approach God? The answers are not found in protests, trips
to the psychiatrist, divorce or even death. Miss Price seeks and
finds answers in the deep abiding love and faith that “has broken
every barrier down.” Just As I Am will be acclaimed Eugenia
Price’s finest contribution to the search for a meaningful
Christian life.
