Reader Reviews
“We purchased The Story of Charles Ogilvie without any prior knowledge of the book. I loved this book!! This book shows how important it is to seek truth and continue to follow God’s truth in the Bible…no matter what others, even “Christians,” might say. Read the Bible and stay true to what God teaches you. Also, I like the life-long influence “chance” meetings can have on our lives. Very nicely balanced book.”
— Jack Snavely, Castle Rock, Colorado
“A great read for triumph over every Christian’s struggle – his own mind. A wonderful book.” — A reader from Foyil, Oklahoma

Tom Watkins’ Mistake (Emma Leslie)
$14.75Certainly one of the best Lamplighter Rare Collector’s Stories ever published. In a day of situational ethics, Tom Watkins’ Mistake is a story which provides an excellent opportunity to cement into the fabric of children’s minds that one’s character is formed by one’s obedience to the truth, even in small things.
Whether or not one’s character is godly will be evidenced by humility, as Webster’s 1828 dictionary defines character. Mark Hamby said: “I believe this story will have a significant eternal impact upon many lives. It will be exciting to hear the testimonies!”
Tom Watkins’ Mistake realistically illustrates common temptations encountered by young people today. In a day of situational ethics, this relevant story speaks volumes. A brother and sister, enticed by material gain, forfeit their good reputation. We need to guard against dishonesty and deception!

Basil: Or, Honesty and Industry (Charlotte O’Brien)
$14.75This story is filled with gems of truth, the value of which cannot be measured. Young Basil takes these treasures to heart and determines to live by them. He learns to pray, not that God would make him rich, but enable him to act honestly and industriously; for this is the way to become independent. His life experiences confirm what he had been told, that perseverance and industry are the two great essentials to success.
Most importantly, Basil understands that outward success can never bring inward peace and happiness apart from the love and acceptance of Christ. You will find this story to be uplifting and personally challenging — the type of story that everyone should read!
