| Summary | "The Book of Courage" by John T. Faris is an inspirational self-help book written in the early 20th century. The work seeks to uplift and motivate readers, focusing on the concept of courage and its essential role in overcoming adversity and achieving personal growth. It draws upon examples from the lives of historical figures and ordinary individuals to illustrate the many forms of courage, from self-conquest to facing obstacles with resilience. The opening of the book begins with a poignant anecdote about a teacher on the verge of giving up after a series of misfortunes impact her well-prepared classroom, which symbolized her dedication to her students. However, a moment of inspiration from a recovering canary reignites her determination, reinforcing the idea that courage is crucial in times of discouragement. Faris emphasizes the need for courage in daily life, describing it as a fundamental strength that can help individuals confront their challenges, improve themselves, and ultimately, assist others. Through examples of historical figures with strong character and perseverance, he sets the tone for a book that aims to instill determination and hope in its readers.
