The best of the best!
I suppose one must be careful about how one throws out the phrase, "This is the best book I have ever read". Memories can be short and values change.

White Banners

Pocket, 1975

Giving without receiving
White Banners embraces a thread that Lloyd C. Douglas carries throughout many of his works. That thread, I believe, is doing good especially when you know you will never receive recognition for it.

The Robe
Lloyd C. Douglas

The Riverside Press, Cambridge, MA, 1945

The famous Robe, that involves "a lifetime of thought, research, and planning-the longest and by far the author's most important book. It is distinguished, disturboing, and exciting novel about another terrible era in history not likr our own"-from the inside flap.
