Grace to the Humble
$6.00The Stories of Tom White the Postboy and Charles Jones the Footman
For the first time, these two classic, famed stories are joined in one joint edition. Hannah More’s Tom White the Postboy tells of a young man’s growth in character, becoming a well-respected farmer in his community and a Christian example to all who knew him.
In the 2nd story, Charles Jones the Footman, the author tells the story of his own life, focusing on the Lord’s gracious ways with him. By example, Charles shares the importance of honoring and serving your employer faithfully, and how any hopes of keeping his walk with God required him to watch who he made his companions!
Finally, this volume also includes the enjoyable short story, The History of Diligent Dick, as well as two ancient poems.

The Two Wealthy Farmers (Hannah More)
$7.50A beautiful allegory, to show the contrasts between two farmers and their families. Mr. Worthy is a devoted Christian with a wonderful, godly home. Mr. Bragwell and his family are only “socially religious”, for worldly show and live for selfish gain and pride. Often, Mr. Worthy tries to show Mr. Bragwell the error of his ways, but his counsel is scorned.
Not until God works in ways which seize his attention and sober him, does Mr. Bragwell realize that the truths his friend have told him are the only paths to everlasting happiness.
Also contains several stirring poetry selections.
