City Sparrows
And Who Fed Them
Join Zetta and her brother Harry in a cold, drafty garret as they learn that not even a sparrow falls to the ground without God seeing. Follow burdened Margaret as she learns that suffering produces patience, patience produces experience, and experience produces hope. Watch as they discover together that “all things work together for good to those who love God.”
In a wretched part of town, filth and refuse add to the foul odor that pervades the air. Zetta shivers in her threadbare rags as she tries to soothe her sick brother. When their father was alive, they lived in the beautiful country with fields and flowers. But now mother is no help, for she has sunken into the lowest depths of drunkenness.
In such a pitiful setting, is there any hope of redemption? Who cares about this dirty child and her woes? Zetta finds the answer in the minister’s story about a God who cares when even a sparrow falls to the ground. How much more does He care about her?
While the reader may never know the darkness of Zetta’s world, we all experience some degree of tribulation. Rest assured that God is our refuge and strength – a very present help in time of trouble.
