Lines of a Layman

The Golden Rule in everyday living.

The history of America’s commercial growth is highlighted with the names of a few great men whose contributions to their nation have far transcended ability in business, manufacturing and industry. Such a man is J. C. Penney, one of the most successful in business enterprise and the most inspiring in his personal example of courage, wisdom, and service to fellow men and to God.

Faith and fellowship are not mere Sunday obligations in J. C. Penney’s philosophy. You find a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week code of Christian living. Lines of a Layman is more than just a book to read, although its almost two hundred thoughtful vignettes are fascinating, swift-paced and stimulating. You will find that it is a book to use, even a book by which to live. Its pages are charged with meaning; one cannot read them without finding ways to happiness, creativity and a stronger faith.
