Fireside Readings, Volume 3

Contains four marvelous 19th-century stories:

• Made Clear at Last
  
• Jim and His Dog
  
• Little Tommy Lear’s Disgrace
  
• Black Billy

In the main story — Made Clear at Last — young Fred Mathers is determined to clear his father’s good name and pay off the debt he owed before he heroically lost his life. Fred’s diligence and hard work earn him the respect of his master, but also the cruel taunting of a jealous co-worker, troublesome Timothy Trump.

A story which demonstrates how we must trust God through times of pain and emotional turmoil, for in His perfect timing God’s purpose will be made clear at last. A story which will instill many priceless truths into the hearts of children as they seek to do right in the midst of daily pressures and trials.

So, here in Fireside Readings Volume 3, you have another collection of great read-aloud stories for your entire family. Diligence, hard work, and trusting God are just a few of the themes you’ll talk about.  And you’ll see how vital it is that we trust God through times of turmoil, stress, and trouble.

About the Lamplighter Rare Collector’s Series 

Lamplighter stories are much more than good and wholesome reading for the family.  The inspiring role models found in Lamplighter books show a child that outward compliance alone will not carry a child through the stresses and disappointments soon to be faced in adolescence and adulthood, nor are they a substitute for faith in Christ.  As we learn of perseverance, courage, loyalty, humility, these are qualities to emulate and pursue, but as children read in stories of others like them trying their best and falling short, they will powerfully learn their need for the gospel.  Though life is often not easy, we can be confident that each disappointment and trial is designed by a loving God for our good.

Lamplighter books are carefully designed to draw children back to the Bible, to ensure that each story reflects the character of God.  Often, key Scriptures are referenced so that they may be stored in a child’s heart. Lamplighter volumes are recognizable right away by their beautiful, high-quality bindings.  But the other unique feature of a Lamplighter book, in contrast to other publications of the same title, is that the Lamplighter editions have been enhanced with helpful footnotes and woven with threads of Biblical truths that will be etched into an awakened moral conscience. These characteristics are what make our Lamplighter Collection so unique and highly valued.
