About the Lamplighter Rare Collector’s Series
Lamplighter stories are much more than good and wholesome reading for the family. As your children learn of perseverance, courage, loyalty, humility, these are certainly qualities to emulate and pursue. But reading in the stories of others, like themselves, trying their best and falling short, they will be persuaded of 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.

But not all is lost, for the prisoners of Pride are at last released from his bondage and relationships are restored. Written originally in 1869, the story is timeless as, in every era, we all need a good dose of humility!

The Holy War: The Battle for Mansoul (John Bunyan)
$16.95The most beautiful edition of Bunyan’s The Holy War we have ever seen! A large hardcover edition, filled with delightful old pen and ink sketches and drawings.
The story: Righteous and honorable King Shaddai and His Son Immanuel are the kind rulers the city of Mansoul, always directing the lives of the city with justice and equity. But the ruler of darkness – Prince Diabolus – has his own plans for the city. With the assistance of his evil captains, he plots the destruction of the once happy town.
The first to fall to his deceptions is Captain Resistance, so that Mansoul is now open to Diabolus’ wicked lies about their king. Diabolus knows that he may only possess Mansoul if the people open the gates to him by their own choice; and soon, sadly, through the vantage point of Eargate, the inhabitants believe his lies and the city falls. So begins this story of treachery and deceit, foolishness and pride, but forgiveness and final redemption. The fact is, as Bunyan intended it, this is the story of a sinner saved by the grace of God.
