**Preface**
A Young German has written this book from his soul, with the river of his heart after a difficult day’s work. He has stood as a youth in the struggle for the Reich and has become a man in the school of armed service. He takes for himself the right to write about faith, because in life he stands at the front. He does not want to intervene in the quarrel of the scholars, because he knows that the struggle for faith is not decided by books and speeches, rather solely by the fire of the hearts. Hence this book should also be read with the heart. His words are intended for those who already carry the new faith within themselves, be it just as the most distant yearning or dark presentiment. He summons them to help create, so that the German soul may find its way to God, so that we can live ourselves.
