Reader Review
“This book is one of my favorite Lamplighter stories! The conflict of the characters hearts to either follow their own way or to surrender to God’s will with faithful hearts, is beautiful! It inspires me to want to be able to say, with all my heart, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain”! Thank you, Lamplighter, for this godly story!” — a reader from Hattiesburg, Mississippi

The Silver Cup and other stories for the young (Emma Marshall)
$15.00In the New Testament, our Savior reveals that the second greatest commandment is to love our neighbor, in the same way that we already love ourselves. The short stories of this volume illustrate that the failure to love, evidenced by dishonesty and careless self-absorption, carries forth its effects from the individual to the family and society as a whole.
In contrast, you will see the fruit of repentance and the blessings that follow when we model the mercy and forgiveness of Christ and humbly consider others before ourselves.
