Flowers from a Puritan’s Garden (C. H. Spurgeon) (#52)
$9.75Charles Spurgeon was a lover of the Puritans, but was especially fond of Thomas Manton. So, Spurgeon collected various short excerpts from Manton’s writings, and gathered them into one volume, for his own joy and edification. Eventually it was published, first in the 1880s. Contains one full year of daily readings. Now we have these daily devotional readings taken from Spurgeon’s favorite Puritan, back in print!
Thomas Manton’s complete works filled 22 volumes with rich theology and commentary on Scripture, from which Spurgeon selected his most-loved nuggets of wisdom and exposition of Scripture; Spurgeon also added some of his own devotional thoughts to the volume.

The Basket of Flowers (Christoph von Schmid)

James, the king’s gardener, has mastered the art of teaching his 15-year-old daughter Mary the principles of godliness, finding creative ways to converse based on their work in the garden. But soon Mary is falsely accused of stealing, and the penalty is severe.
Regardless, young Mary remembers what her father had taught her: that it is better to suffer for the truth than to live for a lie, and that the worst pillow to sleep on is the pillow of a guilty conscience! A story that many regard as our finest character-building story of all. Themes: faith, forgiveness, suffering for righteousness’ sake and overcoming evil with good.
Join James, the godly gardener, and his daughter Mary who endure wrongful accusation and yet walk in integrity. See any of the Lamplighter Rare Collectors Series for outstanding family reading books.
