More than half a century has passed since Arthur S. Maxwell first wrote these words in 1962. Is the world a safer place now than it was then? Honest observers are bound to say "No." In fact, if anything, life today has become even more uncertain, even less stable, than it was fifty years ago. What do we need in times like these? Maxwell says it isn't "a mere knowledge of the crisis, but courage to meet it." And where can we get that courage? Maxwell says from God. From the Cross. From good habits-such as obedience, worship, and dedication. And from the great certainties-such as God's victory over evil, Jesus' second coming, and the reality of heaven.
