The Shining Way (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Shining Way With the advance of civilization, and all the valuable improvements of twenty-two hundred years, that splendid road, built for pedestrians and vehicles, has never been surpassed. Over it the commerce of the empire was borne. That magnificent highway, one Of the marvels Of the centuries, but faintly typifies the beauty, the Splendor, the glory, the undying charm Of the Shining Way of which I am to speak in this book. The prophet Isaiah describes it: And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called the way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those; the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. NO lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon; it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there. (isaiah xxxv, 8.
