Publisher’s Preface

Publisher’s Preface

Abingdon Press is delighted to bring back into print Victorious Living. Originally published in 1936, Victorious Living was inspired by a letter E. Stanley Jones received from a reader of one of his earlier books. Victorious Living, his response, has touched the lives of people around the world.

For this edition, the publisher has made some minor revisions. The updates include spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and some language usage and references that would distract or confuse the reader. References to humanity, no longer expressed as men and mankind, have been updated. Some references to God have been recast to avoid masculine pronouns. In the prayers, thee, thou, and thine have been changed to you, your, and yours. The term African American is used in this edition. A major undertaking to provide source citations where none existed was often but not always successful. Every effort was made to retain E. Stanley Jones’s voice for today’s readers, so there have been very few changes to content or style.

The publisher acknowledges with gratitude the efforts of Dean Merrill to keep the works of E. Stanley Jones available to readers in recent years.
