Roses and Thorns
These two short stories in one, Roses and Thorns, and the shorter story, Prison Roses, were regarded as one of the most appealing of the volumes published in the 1800’s by the American Tract Society for the promotion of Christian character.
In the setting of Aunt Eleanor sharing stories from her rocking chair with her niece and nephew, the priority of integrity and honesty in all that we do shines forth about careless words, lost children, thunderstorms and thoughtful sisters.

Tampering with Temptation
A collection of short stories to show the sad results that come our way when we do not resist temptation: In the 1st story, Young Martin and the Silver Sixpence, Bernard Martin’s carelessness with his employer’s money gets him in trouble, and then he is tempted to conceal something in his possession which is not his.
The 2nd story, the famous and much-published Farmer Goodwin’s Rule (never do during the day that which will worry you at night), Randy is ashamed of being the one who stands for what is right and learns the hard lessons that come when we compromise our principles.
In the 3rd story: Albert and Herbert: Who is the Coward?, Herbert fails to muster up the courage to say “NO!” These stories will ring true in children’s hearts and consciences as they remember similar situations that revealed their true character!

The Little Medicine Carrier
No story in The Children’s Character Building Collection is more loved by children than The Little Medicine Carrier. Now, in a new edition with a beautiful cover, painted by Caffy Whitney!
It’s the story of a small, poor boy named George, who seeks to help his mother provide for the family by taking a job delivering medicines for the town doctor to the ill people of his village.
George’s journeys around the town become quite adventurous! – as he meets some who inspire him to serve God more faithfully, but others who seek to get him to yield to temptations to be deceitful and dishonest. This is an outstanding story for teaching your children about the value of integrity and faithfulness, even when no men are watching us, but to live as people who know that all our actions are noticed by the eye of God.

The Weed with an Ill Name
New cover and type-set edition of one of our finest children’s stories, reprinted from the 19th century. Few children’s books speak frankly with them about their own sinful nature and inclinations; or their tendency to judge harshly those who sin in ways that they do not believe themselves capable of.
There may be no children’s story ever published which displays these points better than this one — and also persuading children how sin is like the tough roots of weeds, which must be pulled out of their hold in the soil, before they by degrees take over the entire field of our hearts.

And much more.
