The concept of sacrifice has been part of the human condition
since before recorded time. Dating back to the earliest
civilizations, sacrifices have been made for personal, religious,
or social reasons. From archaeological records, evidence of the
sacrifice of food, grains, animals, and even humans is well
documented. From Mesopotamia to Egypt, from the Mayans to the
Aztecs, they all exhibited some forms of sacrifice for a variety of
reasons.
As citizens of the United States, we have a unique perspective
on the concept of sacrifice. Sacrifice has been engrained into the
minds of Americans for over three hundred years, resulting in the
forging of an American culture and eventually a nation based on the
principles of freedom, justice, and liberty. Then there are those
Americans who have given the last full measure of sacrifice for our
country, our way of life, and the ideals upon which this country
was founded. In his first published work, John Abell has taken a
fresh look at the concept of sacrifice. In "Sacrifice, the Essence
of Life, " John Abell gives numerous examples of heroic personal
sacrifices made throughout American history. There are many true
stories. From the American Revolution to modern-day acts of
sacrifice, Abell helps us to be reminded that our country exists
today because there have been literally millions throughout our
nation's history who made extreme sacrifices that were the
foundation for the blessings of liberty that we experience every
day.
Finally, Abell brings the reader to a predetermined place of
reckoning, focusing on the concept of sacrifice and the mystery
behind it all. What is the greatest example of sacrifice that we
can learn from history? Is sacrifice a basic, fundamental, or even
necessary ingredient to the human experience? John Abell believes
sacrifice is fundamental to human existence, and in "Sacrifice, the
Essence of Life, " he will explain why.
