The story of Frank Lloyd Wright’s life is no less astounding than his greatest architectural works. He enmeshed himself eagerly in myth and hearsay, and revelled in the extravagance of his creative persona. Throughout his long career, Wright strongly resisted the suggestion that his accomplishments owed anything to earthly influences. As much as he wanted his achievements to be recognised, he wanted them to be unaccountable – but they are not. This book reveals for the first time how his unbreakable self-belief and startling creative defiance both originated in the liberal religious and philosophical attitudes woven into his personality during his childhood – deliberately so by his mother and by his many aunts and uncles, to honour the fierce Welsh radicalism of their ancestors.

The 1896 published volume has addenda and errata on p. [1017]-1119.

Do you get your understanding about God and his plan of salvation from the Bible or from the pulpit? If an honest self-evaluation reveals that you are relying more on the words of men than the Word of God for your relationship with God and your eternal destiny, you need to read this book! This book is not written to liberal theologians and Christians who may believe or assume the Bible is not the sole authority on spiritual matters. Rather, it is written to those who truly believe the Bible to be the literal and inspired Word of God and understand God’s plan of salvation to be revealed in biblical truth. Unfortunately, in much of the modern church, the increasing trend is toward teaching the doctrines of men instead of what the Bible actually says. In these times, it is critically important that we follow the example of the Bereans, who examined scripture to see if what was said is true. The result is that many in the pews who think they are on Christ’s narrow way that leads to eternal life are being deceived. This book tells the truth that every evangelical pastor and Christian should know about what the Bible really says about salvation.
