Project, http://www.lawsonsprogress.com  a"Born Again" by Alfred W. Lawson is a philosophical novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers on the journey of the main character, John Convert, who reflects on his tumultuous life experiences, touching upon themes of self-discovery, travel, and the nature of humanity. The narrative seems to explore deep questions about morality, society, and the individual's place in the world.  At the start of the story, the author shares a poignant dedication to a selfless beggar, which sets the tone for the philosophical inquiries to follow. John Convert introduces himself and his unconventional upbringing, shaped by his father's dogmatic beliefs and constant relocations due to his father's vocation as a preacher. Despite his unruly youth, which led him to roam and work across various places, Convert develops a robust physical constitution and becomes aware of the significant struggles of humanity. The opening chapters hint at his evolving thoughts on the nature of existence and morality as he embarks on a series of adventures that lead him to profound realizations, including an encounter with a stunning woman named Arletta and explorations of telepathy and the concept of "Natural Law." Throughout, Lawson's writing presents a critique of selfishness and an idealistic vision for a united human society.
