Not since Sheldon's "In His Steps" flung its famous query around the world has there appeared a popular novel with a theme as searching as "If a Man Die Shall He Live Again." "One of the finest, most significant and most absorbing stories of these great epochal times that brought sorrow and suffering to most all of the world....A heart-gripping, thought-provoking novel, the greatest of all Hocking's novels." -Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph "This is unquestionably a great story, interesting and fascinating as a love story, from beginning to its perfect and satisfying close. But it is immeasurably more than this. It is calculated to make a great impression as the avenue for religious teaching, touching the depths of human longing for eternal life and divine salvation, and showing that these fundamental needs of the soul are met and satisfied only by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. More than this it is a great war story, one of the very finest yet written, and is destined to a wide reading, leaving good and healthful impressions because it rings true at every turn and on every page." -The Herald and Presbyter "A strikingly unique novel in that its extraordinary versatility will cause it to appeal to readers in all walks of life. There is color, and tense incident which whets the interest on ever page - yet at the same time the author, writing in the first person, deals with the salient moral and social problems of the hour with searching and illuminating philosophy. The tale revolves around a young lawyer who, in broken health, is given his death-warrant by his physician. Yet, surprisingly indifferent to his doom, he takes up his residence in a lonely part of Cornwall, England, and there uncovers some dastardly machinations of German spies, secret stores of petrol for their U-boats, and encounters some very real dangers in his desire to gain valuable information for his British Majesty. Just how a charming young woman enters the picture and how a passion for life and happiness supplants the man's former indifference, is told with sympathy and literary skill." -The Bookseller "It will be read, and discussed, and sermons will be suggested by it....One of those breathless stories that must be read through at a sitting, and thought over afterward." -Christian Intelligencer
