"All's for the Best" by T. S. Arthur is a moralistic novel likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores themes of faith, hope, and resilience through the dialogues between various characters, reflecting on life's trials and the search for divine truth. The central characters engage in deep philosophical discussions about faith in God, human nature, and the inherent goodness of love and virtue, setting the stage for profound life lessons. The opening of the book introduces a conversation between Mr. Fanshaw, a man plagued by doubt and despair, and Mr. Wilkins, who represents hope and faith. Mr. Fanshaw expresses his lack of belief in anything, lamenting that life’s uncertainties cloud his future. In response, Mr. Wilkins shares anecdotes about the strength derived from faith, reflecting on his own experiences of loss and the providential nature of life. They then visit an old man who, despite losing everything, demonstrates a joyful spirit rooted in his faith and love for his family. This encounter profoundly impacts Mr. Fanshaw and begins to shift his perspective, hinting at the book's central message that, even amid trials, there exists a divine purpose and a promise of eventual good.
