Breaking Through ~ and other Stories for the Young
$17.25This little treasure of a book, Breaking Through and Other Stories for the Young, is a creative collection of stories and poems that teaches us about the power of God’s salvation and how He can take the dead and the wretched and give them new life!
Amy Le Feuvre teaches the wonders of salvation in her first endearing story of the volume, Breaking Through, by using a simple analogy of dead bulbs coming alive again and turning into beautiful blossoms. Our souls are hidden in the deadness of the sin of this cold world, but Christ raises us up as tender shoots that discover the warmth of the springtime sun.

Will he give in to the pressure? The vicious wrath of Dan Dean rears its ugly head time and time again, until Jeb finds himself being accused of incomprehensible wrongdoing.

Fastened Like Nails Vol. 1 (F. W. Boreham)
$13.50Formerly titled Wings of the Morning.
This treasure sat on my bookshelf for over twenty years! I am grateful that during his morning address at the Guild, Dr. Zacharias quoted snippets of wisdom by Frank Boreham, whom he considers to be one of the most important theologians of his personal library.
I now place Fastened Like Nails as one of my top ten books. It describes the power of the Word of God in the lives of such men as Luther, Tyndale, Wycliffe, Knox, Whitfield, Pascal, Judson, Livingstone, Paton, Carey, Newton, Bunyan, Cromwell, Taylor, Spurgeon, and Chalmers. The background of each man’s personal conquest makes every story rich and colorful, mixed with tragedy and sacrifice.

It would be difficult to read Fastened Like Nails and not be changed, as we are reminded of the great things Christ has done for us!

Tom Watkins’ Mistake (Emma Leslie)
$14.75Certainly one of the best Lamplighter Rare Collector’s Stories ever published. In a day of situational ethics, Tom Watkins’ Mistake is a story which provides an excellent opportunity to cement into the fabric of children’s minds that one’s character is formed by one’s obedience to the truth, even in small things.
Whether or not one’s character is godly will be evidenced by humility, as Webster’s 1828 dictionary defines character. Mark Hamby said: “I believe this story will have a significant eternal impact upon many lives. It will be exciting to hear the testimonies!”
Tom Watkins’ Mistake realistically illustrates common temptations encountered by young people today. In a day of situational ethics, this relevant story speaks volumes. A brother and sister, enticed by material gain, forfeit their good reputation. We need to guard against dishonesty and deception!

Dashed to Pieces (A. L. O. E.)
$13.50A Tale of Roman Prince Virgilius
Charlotte Maria Tucker (1821 – 1893) was a prolific writer and poet for children and adults, who preferred to write under the pseudonym A. L. O. E. (a Lady of England).
Word has spread that Paul’s teachings have persuaded some of the elite Roman Guard to believe in the one true God, Jesus Christ. If they walk in the light of the truth, their wealth and property will be forfeited; more importantly, believers who reveal their faith risk not only their lives, but place their spouse and children in harm’s way.
Will a Roman soldier forsake all and take up his cross and follow Jesus? Be prepared to be on the edge of your seat as slaves and generals find themselves on equal footing, hiking treacherous mountain paths in the midst of a catastrophic flood. Salvation may be found in a most unexpected way!
