- Wikipedia: Speer wrote numerous sermons, articles, pamphlets, and books among which are biographies, biblical commentaries and books on Christian living. Most deal with missionary principles and practices but some tackle controversial social problems.        He coined the famous four principles of Jesus which became embedded in Moral Rearmament and in Alcoholics Anonymous as the "Four Absolutes" or the "Four Standards". Basing his views on his own biblical research, Speer regarded these four principles as one of Jesus' key teachings: Purity, Honesty, Unselfishness and Love.   While the initiator of Moral Rearmament, Dr Frank Buchman, held Robert E. Speer in high regard, he used a version of the four principles which had been reworked by Pr Henry Burt Wright from Yale

Condition:  Very Good Condition for this vintage copy of Speer's essays/sermons.  Cover shows only minor edge and surface wear with still clear gold lettering....looks good.  No owner name inside, but Bible College stamp twice.  Hinges/binding are tight/strong, with no binding cracks.  No apparent age-tanning to paper.  Small pen marks on only 3 pages.   Otherwise, interior is clean...no stains, other marks, tears, or folds.   Book has extra heavy PVC protective cover, can be slipped on and off.  My pics show both with and without PVC.
