What reading level is The Facts of Life in Relation to Faith book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is something so intimately associated with the moral personality that it may be best stated in personal terms and even in the first person. The surest fact about sin in my life is just that my sin is my sin. It may have circumstances and conditions which are not mine, but it becomes sin in my conscience because and when it is mine. Of course, one is aware that the sense of this is dimmed and even denied for the modern mind by the con- sciousness of such forces in life as that of heredity, wh...ich apparently mortgage life, even moral life, so heavily and sum it up as nothing more than a resultant of determined conditions. Now this 'given' element in life is not only indisputably true but is also an invaluable to its right and native state of relatedness to God. It does not thereby abrogate freedom but, on the contrary, renews it, and leads it not to a mere non-moral neutrality of choice but to its true 'law of liberty, ' which says not 'I can do what I like' but 'I love Thy law. ' This idea of rational and moral, as opposed to a merely indifferent, freedom is seen in a man of long-stablished nobility of character, of whom we say he 'could not' do some base deed, and yet not meaning that by his character he has forfeited moral freedom.
