Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book dives into the origins of the Royal Naval Temperance Society in 1863 within the British Royal Navy and shares how it has become a great movement that has hugely benefitted the lives of sailors. The author, who has been working among sailors for many years and has seen firsthand the positive impact of the Society, brings the reader an insider's view of the challenges and triumphs of promoting temperance within the Royal Navy. Covering aspects like the Society's progress over the years, organization, membership, personal labor involved, medals awarded for service, and the significance of pledges, this book is full of stories of transformation and success. The author emphasizes the importance of looking to God for strength to keep resolutions and highlights the positive influence of temperance on the careers and personal lives of the sailors involved.
