The Lost Ruby and The Lost Child (Christoph von Schmid)
$15.50The Lost Ruby is a classic story designed to teach children that honesty is worth pursuing, regardless of the cost. This book also contains one of Von Schmid’s finest short stories, The Lost Child, which shows the mystery of how God trains us with hardships and uses them to bless us.
This is the story of young Lieutenant Wildberg and the heavy price he paid for succumbing to the subtle temptation of worldly logic. Though at first his “indiscretion” seemed to accomplish a great and noble good, it eventually brought grief and harm to those he loved. He learned that “even the most trivial lie is an evil seed.” (The second story in this volume is as powerful as The Lost Ruby.)

My Mates and I (O. F. Walton)
$16.00A penetrating story which covers a lot of territory that teenage young men are all too familiar with: the power of peer influence, the consequences of ignoring our conscience, the deception of self-reform, and the danger of a backslidden condition.
Charlie Wescott is a “wayside hearer” – one who allows the seed of truth to be snatched up by idle thoughts, idle talk, and idle companions. He lives for the moment, giving no thought to the pain he may be inflicting on himself and others. But it is also a story of redemption – giving us a glimpse of God’s loving hand that is still stretched out to us with mercies.
First published in 1878.
Character themes in this story: peer pressure and salvation.

(U) John Ploughman’s Talk (Charles Spurgeon)
$18.50A book very different than any of Charles Spurgeon’s theological writings, which makes it even more special. It’s a book that cuts to the chase with his witty yet straightforward discourse on personal issues that were relevant back then and continue to demand attention today.
It appears that, where formal sermons may have fallen on deaf ears, then Spurgeon personalizes himself as farmer “John Ploughman”. He takes to the streets in the common language of the people and lays bare the issues of man in his no-nonsense style. Highly recommended reading for Family Devotions!

Blushing and almost breathless over the importance of her thought, she exclaimed, “Oh, Mother, there is a God. Mary Lewis told me so. And oh, he is so great! Greater than this house, greater than the tall trees, greater than everything, and I thought you would be glad to know it. I was so glad, and yet it made me afraid.”

The Distinguishing Traits of Christian Character (Gardiner Spring)
$14.50There are certain marks or character traits on a life that only a true believer in Jesus Christ will possess; likewise, there are traits that men put a great deal of confidence in, but which do not prove a man to be in Christ at all! In this important book, first published in 1813, the author skillfully shows which signs distinguish a true Christian and which do not. These include both internal and external marks.
Jonathan Edwards’ classic work, The Religious Affections, was the inspiration which stirred author Gardiner Spring to write this volume, long awaited to come back into print after a 20+ year absence. Spring’s writing on this subject is a solid survey of the kind of self-examination which all of us would be wise and Biblical to bring to our lives.
