Parables In Great Books is an excellent and all but forgotten work by Rev. Snell. It details great morality, ethics, and guidances on living a right life through the lense of literary criticism of the characters, settings, and vivid typology portrayed through some of the greatest authors and their works in the turn of the century (mainly the last). I found many quotable phrases, applicable sentences, and advice for my own life through the wisdom of Snell.
