Roses and Thorns

The Dairyman’s Daughter (Legh Richmond)
$7.00One of the 19th century’s most well-read stories for girls. Over three (3) million copies sold before 1900. Read this once and you’ll wonder why you never heard this story before. Told by her pastor, Legh Richmond, it’s the story of young Elizabeth Wallbridge, who came to be known as “The Dairyman’s Daughter.”
A child of a poor dairy farmer in England, Richmond met Elizabeth in 1798 upon his arrival as the new minister on the Isle of Wight. He learned from her of a proud past in which she forsook all love of her family, but then of the sweet love of Christ which was formed in her and the shining testimony she became as a witness for Him with her holy life. Richmond regarded Elizabeth as “one of the best-versed persons in the Scriptures” whom he had ever met and considered meeting her one of the highest privileges of his life.

The Young Cottager: Little Jane of Brading (Legh Richmond)
$6.00Legh Richmond’s The Young Cottager, first written in the mid-1800s, is the touching and true story of young Jane of Brading, a young lady and a member of the church he served.

* Fanny Graham
* Little Ruth
* An abridged version of the well-known story of Mary Jones and her Bible
* The short story What Must I Do?Each is a story of believers living with praise to God in their hearts when they could have complained of their difficult circumstances.

The Negro Servant and The Black Prince (Legh Richmond)
$6.00Two 19th century stories of lasting value, combined for the first time in one volume. Each tells of the work of the grace of God in the lives of young men. One, born into royalty (The Black Prince) comes to know and love Christ.
The other, living in slavery (The Negro Servant) comes to know the same Savior.
But what different plans God has for each of their lives! Holding the power of royalty will not prevent God from humbling us, if He wills, and being enslaved will not hinder Him from exalting us, if that is His plan.

Kanousky, the Indian Boy, and David Brainerd, the Indian’s Missionary
$5.50Two stories in one volume: First, read of Kanousky, whose circumstances of life are tragically altered, but discovering the truth about Jesus so transforms his life, he can later look back with gladness on the changes he was forced to endure.
The second story is of David Brainerd, briefly introducing young readers to the labors of one of America’s most persevering missionaries, unstoppable in his zeal to reach the American Indian.
The grace of the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, and how seeks and finds His lost sheep is the theme of the first story about Kanousky, a poor Indian boy who survives a battle and ends up lost and alone. In his need, he stumbles upon some farmers who called themselves “Christians.” God’s Word makes a lasting impression on Kanousky’s life, that grows throughout his trials and adventures, and soon, “though he was lost”, he soon regards himself as “found by the Lord.”
