Life Changers by Harold Begbie – First Printing from 1923
Life Changers by Harold Begbie — First Edition (1923)
Publisher: Mills & Boon Limited | London, 1923
Hardcover | First British Edition
This is the First British Edition (1923) of Life Changers: Narratives of a Recent Movement in the Spirit of Personal Religion by Harold Begbie, author of Broken Earthenware. This influential work was published in the United States under the title More Twice Born Men.
About the Book
Life Changers documents the early spiritual transformation movement led by Frank Buchman, whose teachings on personal change and confession inspired what would become the Oxford Group — a movement that laid the groundwork for the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous and later twelve-step recovery programs.
Begbie’s book presents remarkable personal accounts of men whose lives were dramatically changed through Buchman’s influence. It offers an intimate portrayal of a movement rooted in Christian ideals yet extending beyond traditional religion — emphasizing honesty, moral inventory, and spiritual awakening as universal principles of change.
