The Chocolate Soldier Or, Heroism—The Lost Chord of Christianity

"The Chocolate Soldier" by C. T. Studd is an inspirational religious work, challenging Christians to live lives of bold faith and action. The book uses the metaphor of a "chocolate soldier"—someone who melts under pressure—to describe Christians lacking true commitment. It urges readers to be brave and dedicated to God, especially when facing difficulties. The book shares stories of courageous figures from the Bible, like Noah and David, to show how faith leads to extraordinary achievements. Studd encourages Christians to actively spread their beliefs. By rejecting fear and passivity, and instead embracing a passionate and wholehearted dedication.
