One of the many great American traditions, it is safe to say, is a parent declaring to their child (perhaps children) that the child has it so much better than the parent did when the parent was a child. It's the same overall line of reasoning that gave rise to the comical phrase:

"Barefoot, in the snow, uphill, both ways!"

However, with regard to Christ's new covenant (the New Testament), this overall line of reasoning becomes entirely true.

In this, Joe Gladwell's fourth book, it is revealed just how much better we, the human race, have it under Christianity than those of the previous two dispensations.
