Rescued From Egypt (A. L. O. E.)

Rescued From Egypt

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).

In 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!

Rescued From Egypt was originally written in 1866.

The other volumes of the Pictures of Faith Series are:

• Exiles from Babylon
• The Shepherd of Bethlehem
• Triumph Over Midian

Reader Review

“This is the third book in the Heroes of the Faith series by A Lady Of England. The author does a masterful job of weaving Biblical history with fictional characters who begin to apply the lessons by dear Pastor, Mr. Eardley. Once again, this book contains practical and encouraging applications for every reader.” — Stephanie of Concord, North Carolina

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.
