INTRODUCTION
To the reader:
A. H. Macmillan is known to Jehovah's witnesses all over the
world. His long and prominent association with the Watch Tower Bible
and Tract Society and his faithful record of service as a Christian minister
have endeared him to his many friends.
Toward the end of 1955 Mr. Macmillan asked permission to use
the Society's files to write an account of his experiences in the
ministry. Since he is a trusted member of the headquarters staff, he was
granted permission. A few months ago he informed me the work was
finished, and at his request I agreed to read the manuscript for technical
accuracy. I soon found myself engrossed in the story which the account of his
life and association with Jehovah's witnesses had produced.
This book is more than the story of one man's growing faith. I
believe Mr. Macmillan has made a sincere effort to capture and portray
the very essence of the religion that he acknowledges has given meaning to
his life. He reveals Jehovah's witnesses as human. He admits
their mistakes and explains why no human organization can be
infallible. At the same time he reveals their hopes, and presents sound
Scriptural reasons for the appeal of these hopes to all kinds of men.
The book is a straightforward and truthful account. It is
unique only in the personal experiences of A. H. Macmillan. In many
other respects it could be the story of any one of hundreds of Jehovah's
witnesses whom I have known.
