About This Book

A sequence of fifty cartoons paired with short essays and captions that employ satirical illustration and religious imagery to address moral, ecclesiastical, and civic concerns. The pieces criticize church complacency, commercialized worship, temperance issues, hypocrisy, and political corruption while urging spiritual renewal and practical reform. Many images juxtapose individual conscience and public life, dramatizing dilemmas such as poverty, immigration, and personal faith. The collection blends visual wit with didactic commentary to prompt reflection on virtue, duty, and the social role of religion.

DARE TO BE A DANIEL!

The resolute faith that enabled Daniel to face the den of lions is at the command of any child of God today, and nothing else will avail as an armor and defense when the ravenous beasts of passion, appetite, covetousness and revenge attack us in temptation’s hour. The source of strength in such emergencies is a childlike faith in God and the fount of that faith is His Holy Word. In the security which faith inspires, the den of torture and trial becomes luminous as the Mount of Transfiguration to those who resist evil and dare to stand true.

For in that He himself hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succor them that are tempted. Heb. 2:18.
