Life Changers: (More Twice Born Men) Narratives of a Recent Movement in the Spirit of Personal Relig

Life Changers: (More Twice Born Men) Narratives of a Recent Movement in the Spirit of Personal Religion by Harold Begbie, is a sequel to his Twice Born Men, which we have also republished. However, this book changes focus from the Salvation Army's work in the slums of London, to focus on Frank Buchman's Oxford Group.

The stories Mr. Begbie gathers in this volume come from a completely different walk of life, the elite universities. He interviews young students who attended Oxford and Cambridge, as well as a few Americans from Yale and Princeton. Some served in World War One, and were scarred by the experience. Others had already gone to seminary or served as missionaries and lost their faith.

Every narrative describes, in their own words, how these young men came to have a spiritual awakening, to be reborn and live a changed life. Their first hand stories give precise details about some of the elements of the Oxford Group, the "Four Absolutes," and the "Five C's." When appropriate, we added footnotes describing how these resemble the Twelve Steps and the Twelve Traditions.

This is a new edition of the public domain book originally published in 1927.

This new edition includes:

• a new Foreword written by the Publisher
• Many new footnotes added by the Publisher. Some of these merely trace out allusions to books and authors referenced by the storytellers. Some footnotes cite passages from the "Big Book" of Alcoholics Anonymous, to demonstrate the almost identical wording and ideas.
• New layout, formatting, and typesetting.

Bulkington Book's mission is to build a bridge into the past, before film, television, copyright, and internet swallowed up the world. We found this story worthy of revival, and we hope you find it worth your while.
