To give a supreme standard to the struggling man, to show that he should not fear pain, temptation, and death, because all these can be defeated, they have already been defeated, this book was written.
Christ suffered, and since then pain has been sanctified; he fought, until the last moment, against Temptation trying to deceive him, and Temptation was defeated; Christ was crucified, and since then death has been defeated.

Every obstacle in his path became a cause and milestone of victory; we now have a model before us that opens the way and gives us courage.
This book is not a biography, it is a confession of the struggling man. By publishing it, I fulfilled my duty, the duty of a man who struggled a lot, suffered a lot in his life, and hoped a lot.
I am certain that every free man who reads this book, filled with love, will love Christ more than ever, better than ever.
