The Shepherd of Bethlehem (A. L. O. E.)
$24.50$28.00
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).
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.

Reader Review

About the Lamplighter Rare Collector’s Series
Lamplighter stories are much more than good and wholesome reading for the family. The inspiring role models found in Lamplighter books show a child that outward compliance alone will not carry a child through the stresses and disappointments soon to be faced in adolescence and adulthood, nor are they a substitute for faith in Christ. As we learn of perseverance, courage, loyalty, humility, these are qualities to emulate and pursue, but as children read in stories of others like them trying their best and falling short, they will powerfully learn 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.

Triumph Over Midian (A. L. O. E.)
$22.50Charlotte 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).
This is the 4th and final book in the Heroes of Faith Series. The characters familiar to that series engage in spiritual warfare – in this case, struggles of heart that trample down our joy in the Lord: Disappointment, Discontentment, Dissension, and Distrust. While these are formidable foes, they can and shall be conquered in Christ.
Through faith the heroes old were made strong; they were valiant in executing their mission to triumph over the fierce force of the Midianites. As Gideon conquered, so through the power of God Almighty, we too also shall. A welcome new addition to the Lamplighter Rare Collector’s Series, from the author fondly known as “A Lady of England” (A.L.O.E.).
“While the Heroes of Faith Series might be my favorite Lamplighter publications, I think Triumph Over Midian might be my favorite in that series!” — Mark Hamby
Character themes in this story: selflessness and selfishness.

Exiles in Babylon (A. L. O. E.)
$23.50Charlotte 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).
The second volume in this dramatic “Faith Pictures” series by the 19th century author, affectionately known in her times as “A.L.O.E.” (A Lady of England) makes the Scriptures come alive! The pictures are so vivid, the characters so real, it is as though we are walking alongside Daniel and his faithful friends, experiencing the momentous challenges they are faced with.
What courage! What great faith! Yet we are ever mindful that they were merely flesh and blood, no different than we are, and that our daily challenges can be met with the same fortitude and grit.

Rescued From Egypt (A. L. O. E.)
$23.50In this book (3rd volume in the Pictures of Faith Series), the life and deliverance of Moses as a type and shadow of our coming Redeemer, Jesus Christ, is flawlessly incorporated into the story of Arthur, the main character of this book.
Arthur wrestles with the inner conflict of living for himself and the approval of others or living for Christ in spite of the rejection and ridicule he’ll most likely endure, for he is related to his siblings by blood, but not by the blood of Christ. The characters are realistic and the story is captivating, but the best part is the dramatic, awesome ending!
