Reader Reviews:
Practical Christianity Needed Today!
From Melonie Luck of Morehouse, New York
This book was the most convicting, challenging Lamplighter book I’ve read yet. There are many quotes out of it’s pages that I like to pass along. It was such a good story. I can see how Ronald Reagan was impacted by it, I know I was. I will certainly pass this along to my children and grandchildren (if the Lord tarries that long) and lend it to any friend wanting to read it. It’s amazing how relevant it is today, well over 100 years after its first publication. It comes highly recommended by me!
Fantastic Read
From Marji of Framingham, Massachusetts on
This was an amazing read. I did not expect the twists and turns that drew me into its pages. I thought several times I had figured out the story and it surprised me. This is a book worth your time, with great lessons for us all.

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.

Mary Jones and Her Bible – paperback
$7.25In the rugged land of Wales, and at a time (early 19th century) when her family could only eke out a meager living, young Mary longs to learn more about the Word of God. This true story takes place in a town where food and clothing are difficult enough to obtain, but young Mary longs for nothing more extravagant than her own Bible.
Mary determines to work hard to earn what little she can, and it takes six years of selling eggs and other work, to obtain the desire of her heart: to possess her very own Bible! Finally, having saved up enough to purchase it, she embarks on a 25 mile walk – without shoes of her own! – to make the trip for the purchase. And it is said that her earnest devotion to this had a role in inspiring others to begin The British and Foreign Bible Society, in 1804.
