Read the Introduction by Rev. Robert Maguire, D. D.

Lord Will-Be-Will

"LORD WILL-BE-WILL signifies that power of the mind called the will, by which we determine for or against an action."[1]

"The Will of man has always been a high ruling power in Man soul. It once served under SHADDAI; it now is the viceroy of DIABOLUS. It is the Will of man that determines and decides. It was this headstrong, self-willed, obdurate power that first yielded to the assault of Satan, and opened the gates of the town. And now he scorns to be a slave, and must still bear rule in Mansoul."[2]
