Description Neill Reilly presents Portraits (rather than biographies) of Five remarkable individuals.
These Five brief Portraits offer inspiration to all who aspire to live a deeper and more balanced life, one that pours much-needed loving kindness and selfless service into our world..
Such balance and focus is critical to all human endeavors, especially those related to spiritual life and contributions to education and society.
Like the book\'s cover image, Archangel Michael assumes a balanced stance, with one foot restraining the head of Satan and his sword at the ready.
Each of these Five Individuals represents well-lived, Michaelic lives.
He is intimately connected with Christ as Earth\'s guiding light.
Michael is often depicted as armored and resolute, giving no quarter to evil.
The term Michaelic refers to the qualities expressed by the Archangel Michael, who fights the dark forces that work to suppress human hope, goodness, loving kindness, and true community.
As students of Rudolf Steiner\'s Spiritual Science, they each sought to bring new light to philosophy, education, and the arts for the future.
The Five "Michaelic" Individuals portrayed are Professor Fritz Koelln, John Fentress Gardner, Lee Lecraw, Marjorie Spock, and William Ward.
If the author seems too fond of his subjects, he readily pleads guilty as charged.
Readers can test the facts presented here and determine their usefulness as inspiration for living a better life.
The author relates fond remembrances of Five departed souls in deeply personal Portraits that are nevertheless meaningful even for those who have never heard of these people who chose a life of service.
These are short, subjective, affectionate sketches.
