Has a book ever made you weep—and make you want to read it again? This month we present a small book, left unfinished by a young husband and father, who died at the age of 37, which has affected readers very deeply. Many cry—and read it again. See: Book Review.
This month’s presents another type of true story: A soldier who refused to bear arms, but rescued many others from sure death. At first, they thought him a weakling and a coward. At the end, he was a hero.
We all want to have great and happy lives. What does a good or great life mean? Which areas should we tend carefully to have a truly human life? This is what our cover story is about. It presents the five aspects of growing up—with concrete suggestions in each area.
March 8 is Women’s Day. We present three features to mark it: An article, quotes from young women, and a note on what this day means. (See pages 22-23 and 28).
