The Parable of the Two Millstones
$15.75In the home of a rich merchant, two hard heads with fiery tempers abide. Like the age-old story of the Prodigal Son, the distress that comes with stubborn pride gives way to a softening of heart. Though God often leads His children in mysterious paths, it is always for their good.
The Parable of the Two Millstones illustrates just how powerful the gift of forgiveness can be. The story of Seppeli brings to light the severity of the famine of Switzerland in 1817, unmasking the hypocrite and proving the faith of God?s devoted followers. The compelling adage to “be industrious and pray”, is at the heart of this telling tale.
Also includes a second story, Sepelli, the Swiss Boy, translated from German as well, by Franz Sales Meyer.

The Pillar of Fire (J. H. Ingraham)
$21.50A highly colorful, suspenseful story of the visit of the Prince of Tyre to Egypt, with a regal eloquence unlike any other lamplighter book. Colorful drama that sheds light on portions of the Old Testament from events 3,500 years ago.
The story is an effort to portray a Biblical account, through historical fiction, in which Moses and the Israelite exodus from Egyptian bondage is told through a series of letters, written primarily by Sesostris, Prince of Tyre, to his mother, Queen Epiphia of Phoenicia, while visiting in Egypt. Some 40 years later, Remeses continues the writing to his son to Sesostris while he too is visiting in Egypt after his father has risen to the throne.
Other than the fictional Prince of Tyre and the obvious “poetic license” needed to fill in the details, the plot is amazingly true to the Biblical account.

The Shepherd of Bethlehem (A. L. O. E.)
$24.50Charlotte 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).
A charming tale which includes cottage lectures on the history of David, which the incidents in the story illustrate. This book is unique in that it weaves lengthy passages of scripture throughout the entire book. The passages are paralleled to the characters in the story, and they, in turn, respond to their life challenges according to God’s Word. Isn’t that what His Word is supposed to do for us? This was a story that I just couldn’t put down.
This is the 1st volume of the “Faith Pictures” Series. The 2nd volume is Exiles in Babylon, by the same author, and third of The Shepherd of Bethlehem.
