It's A Good Old World by Bruce Barton.
Volunteers outside the USA: Bruce Barton died in 1967. His work is still protected by copyright in places like Europe, where copyright is author's death plus 70 years, or Canada/Australia (author's death plus 50 years).
In this collection of essays, Bruce Barton, considered to be among the most influential advertising men of the 20th century, uses history, religion and current events of the 1920s to teach common sense ideals. From Jesus to Beethoven to Napoleon to Abraham Lincoln, Barton uses stories of great individuals to encourage the reader to make the most of life and at the same time to build strong character traits. (Summary by Stephen Escalera)
