"This book has been designed by the author to provide the college students the ability to further understand the life of our national hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal, particularly through his writing and attempt to introduce the context of the assumption that the death of Dr. Jose P. Rizal in not the end of his journey but the beginning of his significant contributions to the development of nationalism.
The key purpose of the book is to encourage the students to examine the course not only as a requirement to accomplish but to emulate the laudable contributions and vigorous sacrifices of Dr. Jose P. Rizal as an individual and as a hero. The author used the records and accounts of Rizal's life including the letters to his correspondents as well as the manuscripts written by other official biographers.
The story of his life is of vital importance in analyzing his writings from his time in relation to the present.
This is of great importance to our nation in as much as the national hero deserves particular honor through the centuries. An in-depth study of Rizal's literary works especially the two great novels, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, would provide a potent argument for the adage that "the pen is mightier than the sword" in the light of the fact that the aforementioned works awakened Filipino Nationalism and paved the way for Philippine Revolution against the abusive Spanish rulers of the 19th century.
The author employed the historical, biographical and analytical approaches, which have at its heart and core, the need to interweave the highlights of Rizal's life, writings, and teachings. Primarily his life gave birth to the development of the Filipino consciousness that led to the making of a nation that we can be proud of.
Each chapter of the book provides activities that gives students the opportunity to look back to important concepts and information. It has interesting questions that should explains, describes, and reflects developing psychological development and higher order thinking skills." —Preface
