Seven Spirits: Or What I Teach My Officers (1907)

The Seven Spirits: Or What I Teach My Officers is a book written by William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army. Originally published in 1907, the book is a guide for the officers of the Salvation Army, providing them with the principles and values that they should uphold in their work. The book is divided into seven chapters, each one dedicated to a different ""spirit"" or value that Booth believed was essential for the success of the Salvation Army. These spirits include the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Holiness, the Spirit of Love, the Spirit of Power, the Spirit of Faith, the Spirit of Humility, and the Spirit of Self-Denial. In each chapter, Booth provides a detailed explanation of the spirit and its importance, as well as practical advice for how officers can embody and promote that spirit in their work. He also includes anecdotes and examples from his own experiences in the Salvation Army, illustrating how these spirits have helped the organization to succeed in its mission.Overall, The Seven Spirits is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of the Salvation Army, as well as for those seeking guidance on how to lead and serve others with compassion, dedication, and faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
