Eugenia Price

In these chaotic times, when many people who claim to be Christian are searching for “relevance” in the secular to justify their worldly aspirations, much of the Christian heritage is being ignored or discarded. But Miss Price turns time back for a moment and in these early Victorian lyrics she finds surprisingly sound, contemporary meaning that stands boldly above the ideas of today’s so-called radical thinkers. 
 

Each line of this long-favored song responds to Miss Price’s interpretation with stirring impact—whether it be in strong yet soft tones that comfort the hearts of the lonely, the troubled, and the suffering or in stunning crescendo to rouse the inattentive and careless.

Through Miss Price’s weaving of the lyrics into her book, Just As I Am, the familiar music of the song accompanies the reader from page to page. Then she syncopates the theme, illuminating it for a fresh appraisal in the light of today’s burning issues. She does this by applying the song’s ethically and psychologically sound thesis both to her own life and to the lives of persons in tragically real confrontations with “fightings and fears within, without.” Each example shines like a beacon to guide the faltering to a Christian understanding and a peace unfulfilled by a secular situation ethic. 

How should a Christian view the war? What course to consolations for the widow and parents of a young man killed in Vietnam? What choice for the guilt-ridden man who loves his wife, his children and his mistress? Is there a “correct” way to approach God? The answers are not found in protests, trips to the psychiatrist, divorce or even death. Miss Price seeks and finds answers in the deep abiding love and faith that “has broken every barrier down.”

Just As I Am will be acclaimed Eugenia Price’s finest contribution to the search for a meaningful Christian life.

Just As I Am

There is no way to understand the Book of Acts without affirming the existence of a dynamic and living Spirit.

Eugenia Price embodies this Spirit in words which make The Acts a joyous revelation. Something extraordinary happened to the men and women in this New Testament book, ending their grief and filling them with sudden courage. From the moment they poured into the streets on Pentecost to the time of Paul’s last words from prison, Jesus energized these early Christians from within.

Their lives reveal the triumphant story of how the church began to “happen,” and in those first conflict-torn, joy-filled days we are able to see how it was meant to be, even now, for those of us who call ourselves Christians.

Miss Price writes, “Why it is not this way for us now, or why it is, at best, only this way now and then, I feel we must decide. I find little or no doctrine in the Acts, but I do find life, and great and simple helps in learning to live it.”

Learning to Live from the Acts is a sequel to the author’s book, Learning to Live From the Gospels.

Learning to Live From the Acts

Here is the good news of the Gospels

In the light of Eugenia Price’s revealing, dynamic insight as she searches for God’s own answers for today’s readers. The familiar Gospel words breathe with new life as she cuts through the superficialities of those who attempt to deemphasize the Bible and draws up sharp guidelines which twentieth-century Christians can follow.

Each of Miss Price’s favorite Gospel verses is included in the book, followed by her reflections on them. Her exposition of the beloved King James passages rings with authenticity and poetic authority.

In the Preface to Learning To Live From The Gospels, Miss Price writes: “You will find little or no information here concerning who wrote and who did not write the Gospels as we know them. You will find no scientific verification of the miracles – not even a defense of them. God’s activities need no defense from us. There are no scholarly apologetics, no exegeses of the more obscure passages of Scripture. I do not know how to do any of this. I find it enough to attempt to learn how to live by the passages I do understand. Having met Christ when I was well along on my earthly journey, what has held my interest from the beginning of my life with Him has not been how to analyze or criticize the Bible, but how to learn to live from it … I know of no better place to learn how to live than from the four provocative Gospel accounts of the earthly life of the God who loved us enough to become one of us.”

Learning to Live From the Gospels

Her joyous remembrance of her first decade on an enchanted island

And of those cherished friends who inspired her best-selling trilogy, Lighthouse, New Moon Rising, and Beloved Invader. After only a few golden hours on Georgia’s St. Simons Island, Eugenia Price longed to make it her home. Even though she loved her old town house in Chicago, and her busy writing and lecturing schedule, the shadow-streaked, light-filled place had cast its spell and would not let her go. The reader, too, will feel the Island’s magic as Genie describes her odyssey with her friend Joyce Blackburn from the urban North to Southern small-town community life and peace.

With deep affection and humor she shares her many friendships—with “the first six,” the elderly folk who gave her their love, their stories, and their memories so that she could write her novels of St. Simons; with her beloved editor, Tay Hohoff, who encouraged and goaded her; and with all the other people who helped with her writing and with the building of her Island home in the midst of the “dear dark woods.”

Although she had been uncertain at first of her welcome to St. Simons, she later experienced the rare privilege of having the Island name a day in her honor.

These intimate pages are also filled with Genie’s quiet faith in God and her eternal gratitude for His grace in sending her to St. Simons. She calls her book a memoir, but it is more than that. It is a thanksgiving celebration of life and of its surprising goodness even in the midst of sorrow and loss. So that she can exclaim to Joyce, “How could life be better than it is right now?”

St. Simons Memoir

“Everyone today is an expert on love,” is Dr. Allan Fromme’s cryptic reflection on our current mood. With a sense of human adventure, Eugenia Price suggests in Make Love Your Aim that anyone can be “an expert on love” if he will dare to discover for himself the love God offers.

“We have so sentimentalized our concept of love that it bears no resemblance to the original,” Miss Price writes. “We have taken the word of romantic novels and motion pictures and TV and perfume and men above the Word of God. The Bible declares that God is love. How closely does your concept of love resemble the love of God? We tend to judge the quality of love according to the way it makes the loved one feel. But to judge love by feeling is our big error and the point at which we turn aside from God’s original concept.”

Make Love Your Aim is a companion piece to the author’s last book, The Wider Place, which was described by some readers as a “controversial challenge” to try the inner freedom God grants to anyone who want it enough to assume the responsibilities that come with it.

Freedom and love are two sides of the same coin. And we can only understand them enough to practice them if we know the way God defines them. How does He do this? In Jesus Christ, the final yet continuing revelation of God’s true intentions toward all of us. Those who are familiar with Eugenia Price’s books will recognize this as a recurring theme. Make Love Your Aim develops it with imagination and versatility: “Jesus said, ‘If the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.’ But He was offering to wave no magic wand over our heads so that we could do as we pleased. He also said, ‘This is my commandment, That you love one another as I have loved you.’ His is the love of the Cross, without self-defense, without self-pity – and totally free.”

Miss Price’s style is maturing noticeable in vigor, accuracy and objectivity. Here is a bold thinker who can write; a committed Christian who can light up experiences common to us all in a language literate and understandable. As her readers have come to expect, she does not hesitate to share a viewpoint that has rejected the hot house conditioning and automatic answers which produce impotent disciples. Rather, she invites the reader to take a bold look at the pretensions he has substituted for reality, the doctrinal escapes he has too long preferred to God himself.

And there is more. There is an underlying reverence, a compassion that springs from a most personal attention to the very subject: love – Christ’s kind of love!
