Portada de John Muir: The Story of My Boyhood and Youth (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

This 1913 autobiography traces Muir’s ever-growing fondness for ‘wild places and wild creatures.’ Beginning with his boyhood days in Scotland, he then picks up with his first experiences of America—where his family moved in 1849. Muir also describes his early adulthood, when, as he puts it, he left ‘the University of Wisconsin for the University of the Wilderness.’

Sobre el autor

John Muir (1838-1914) was a Scottish-American naturalist and conservationist. He founded the Sierra Club. A fierce advocate of wilderness protection, Muir influenced President Theodore Roosevelt’s national park system and, through his passionate, often unabashedly spiritual writings, helped to shape Americans’ attitudes toward wilderness preservation and land stewardship.

芮贤海 & Xianhai Rui: Life

笔者为什么要写这本书呢？是看到普世教会的混乱，互相攻击，异端邪道泛滥。是应验主再来前的兆头，主耶稣告诉我们：那时，若有人对你们说：‘基督在这里，’或说：‘基督在那里，’你们不要信。因为假基督、假先知，将要起来，显大神迹、大奇事。倘若能行，连选民也就迷惑了。看哪！我预先告诉你们了。若有人对你们说：‘看哪！基督在旷野里，’你们不要出去；或说：‘看哪！基督在内屋中，’你们不要信。太二十四23－26。 …
