Historical & Content Background

Eli Stanley Jones (1884–1973) was one of the most influential American Methodist Christian missionaries and theologians of the 20th century. He spent decades working in India, where he became a close personal friend and biographer of Mahatma Gandhi. His writings heavily influenced leaders of the American Civil Rights movement, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Originally published in 1936, Victorious Living was written to address what Jones saw as a widespread sense of moral and spiritual defeat among ordinary people during the Great Depression. The book is structured as a daily devotional designed for personal, group, or family use, taking the reader step-by-step through a "ladder" of spiritual growth.

This copy was published by Abingdon-Cokesbury Press. This imprint name is highly useful for dating: it was formed in 1940 when the Cokesbury Press merged with the Abingdon Press. Because your copyright page still shows the original 1936 date alongside the joint imprint name, this indicates that your volume is a 1940s or early 1950s printing of the original text.
