“This story requires attentiveness, self-examination, and soul-searching. I found myself undone on many occasions, seeing myself on far too many pages. I’ve been admonished to live in the fear of God rather than the fear of man. So, my friends, if you are interested in a story that will challenge your manner of life and cause you to fall on your knees and beg God to change you, here it is.” — Mark Hamby

Throw Me Overboard, or, Happy Ned: The Reward of Honesty
$12.50Now here’s a story with a twist! When faced with false accusations and public humiliation, our hero shows us how to do what’s right, even when taking the easy way out could have cleared his name. As he travels the tempestuous seas of dishonesty, greed, and distrust, you will find yourself so engaged with the story that you will literally want to deliver this lad from his distressing quandary.
And if this wasn’t enough to capture your attention you will meet our heroine Florinda, as well, who is faced with a most difficult decision of pride, vanity and peer pressure.
It’s story that shows well the truth of Psalm 107: “They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, these will see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep.”

The Story of Charles Ogilvie (George Sargent)
$19.50Within this little volume lie treasure troves of insight for the pursuit of a Christian’s life. In spite of great trials, Charles Ogilvie is committed to press on. But his preoccupation with making smart and fun friends lures Charles away from his convictions.
Though challenged to focus inwardly on such radical change as a repentant heart, peer pressure has a strange way of making one ashamed of the gospel of Christ! A startling discovery proves that the way of transgressors is hard, and as a secret crime comes to light, Charles determines never again to scoff at the truth.
