Book Synopsis The Christmas Stories of Henry Van Dyke by : Henry Van Dyke
Download or read book The Christmas Stories of Henry Van Dyke written by Henry Van Dyke and published by Miniature Masterpieces. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry van Dyke was born on 10th November, 1852 at Germantown in Pennsylvania. His education was of the highest quality; he graduated from Princeton University in 1873 and Princeton Theological Seminary, 1877 and later served as a professor of English literature at Princeton between 1899 and 1923. He chaired the committee that wrote the first Presbyterian printed liturgy, The Book of Common Worship of 1906. From 1908-09 he was an American lecturer at the University of Paris and then by appointment of President Wilson, a friend and former classmate of van Dyke, he became Minister to the Netherlands and Luxembourg in 1913. Despite his inexperience in the role he showed great diplomacy and provided genuine comfort to American refugees who at the outbreak of WWI gathered in the Netherlands. However, he is best known as a poet, providing the lyrics too many popular hymns including "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee" and for his short stories. This collection of his Christmas stories clearly displays his tremendous talent and enormous energy. Religion and nature meant much to him and its motifs recur constantly here as well as his poetry, hymns and essays. Henry Van Dyke died on April 10th, 1933 and is perhaps best remembered in the following quote from his work: "Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love - time is eternity."

Book Synopsis Even Unto Bethlehem by : Henry Van Dyke
Download or read book Even Unto Bethlehem written by Henry Van Dyke and published by Fredonia Books (NL). This book was released on 2004-03-01 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thinking and dreaming over the reality of the first Christmas and how Jesus of Nazareth came to be born in Bethlehem, I was given this story. It does not claim to be a historical record. It is a picture drawn by imagination looking for the truth. But there is nothing here that is out of harmony with the Gospels, nothing that does not belong to the holy land and time when these things came to pass. I know the long trail between Galilee and Judea by foot and heart. Thus the story seems to me to be true. It is also a new story because it answers three natural questions that have never before been answered. It tries to tell the human side of a divine event. So I offer it to you, reader, in all sincerity; and to Him who is the Son of God and the Son of Man, in all adoration. Henry van Dyke (1852-1933) was an American clergyman, educator, and author. He graduated from Princeton in 1873, and from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1874. He was pastor of the Brick Presbyterian Church, New York City (1883-99), professor of English literature at Princeton (1899-1923), and U.S. minister to the Netherlands (1913-16). Among his popular inspirational writings is the Christmas story The Other Wise Man (1896). As President Wilson's ambassador to the Netherlands from 1913, Van Dyke was a first-hand witness to the outbreak of World War I and its progress, and was a key player in the President's diplomatic efforts to keep the U.S. out of the conflict.
