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. Yet, 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.

The Silver Cup and other stories for the young (Emma Marshall)

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.
