What reading level is Meanings And Methods of the Spiritual Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Could we obtain from all the inhabitants of our world a declaration of their opinion as to whether of all teachers and guides of the human race Christ be not the highest, surpassing all others as the sun's noon-day brilliance surpasses a rush-light's flickering flame, we may be sure that if there were one or two scattered dissentient voices, they would be drowned in the great chorus, and the world's verdict would exalt Him to the loftiest place with acclaim. My Christianity or your Christianity... may be spurned, but before Christ Himself the multitudes go down with bowed head and bended knee.
Then surely, if men think so highly of goodness, of Christly ideals of life, they will cling to them, will they not? If these things are worthy of so much honour, they must be worthy, too, of a little sacrifice now and again — of sacrifice to the uttermost, rather — since they are the greatest things in all the world ?
Yet men do not cling to them. Goodness may be best, but it has no such command over human life as one would expect the best things to have: Christ may be First and Highest, but none the less do men 138 THE CONTRAST OF SPEECH AND DEED forsake Him and flee.
