  • A Faith That Is My Own (Mrs. O. F. Walton)

    Little Olive Stewart couldn’t be happier now that Mother is back from India. But her happiness is soon to be tested when a fire destroys their home and belongings. There she stands in the pouring rain, watching over her siblings while her mother and older brother try to salvage what they can from the smoldering debris. As a test of faith, Olive encounters her first great trial.

    Yet it takes more than a single tragedy for Olive to trust in her mother’s Saviour. Mrs. Stewart’s greatest desire is for her children to possess a faith that is their own, but how does she ensure her children possess this faith? That is a prayer yet to be answered.

    A few years later, Olive steps into a new stage of life. Leaving childhood behind, it is at boarding school that she quickly learns that her faith has been, up to this point, untested. With her beautiful journal, a gift given to her by her mother, she is encouraged to write about her experiences. Believing that there is nothing to write worth recording, Olive is surprised that every day is filled with new adventures, lessons, mishaps, revelations, and above all, a blossoming love for her Savior. Guided by her motto, “What Would Jesus Do,” Olive learns what it means to “count it all joy,” as her faith is tested.

    This endearing story will draw you into the world of a little girl’s journey into womanhood, living out a faith that is her own.

  • Drawn Together Under Fire (E.A Bland)

    Who could guess that the poverty-stricken brother and sister in their mud-floor hut would one day be the instruments of care for the well-to-do squire? In this world of haves and have-nots, one thing remains unchanged: when Death knocks at your door, it matters not whether your floor is made of mud or gold.

    This compelling story, with its contrasting characters and settings, brings all of humanity under the same roof to grapple with universal questions of love, fear, and most importantly, faith. Just as the Father made the sun to rise on the evil and on the good, so too did He send His Son to save anyone who calls on the name of the Lord to be saved.

  • Dwell Deep (Amy LeFeuvre)

    Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will visit him. Jeremiah 49:8

    Once again, Amy LeFeuvre has written a masterpiece! LeFeuvre truly possesses a literary skill and depth of understanding that reaches the developing passions of young adults, the youngest child, and the insights of the aged and wise. Dwell Deep is the story of a blossoming young girl who has recently lost her earthly shelter and comforts—only to gain something far richer.

    Young in years and young in faith, Margaret Thorn must face the continuous tests of compromise, criticism, and censure. Yet she is no coward in the face of such social pressures. Her favorite phrase is “dwell deep,” a sweet reminder that calls her soul to refuge. In a house of gaiety that leads ladies to “lose their heads…and hearts,” Miss Thorn refuses to wade into its flow. She knows that riding the waves of pleasure, even innocent pleasures, will eventually pull her into the undertow.

    But she quickly finds that her convictions must be tempered with submission to her authorities. This story begs the question: how does one honor God if they are dishonoring those in authority over them? How does one balance convictions without leaving behind the bitter taste of prudish hypocrisy? Are convictions more important than peace and unity?

    It is in the midst of these difficult circumstances that Margaret finds herself faced daily with choices that will serve to form the foundation of her character.

    Reader, be warned! You are about to enter into a story where you will find yourself vicariously experiencing some of the most overlooked and underestimated tensions of life—tensions that we all must face if we are to overcome our fears and grow in our faith. May we, after reading this powerful story, learn that our greatest strength and resolve only comes when we “Dwell Deep!”

  • Kelly Nash: Out on a Limb (Sarah Baker)

     I’m Kelly Nash, the best fellow in the place. Everybody likes me; and I like myself!

    Brimming with mischief and armed with a twinkle in his eyes, Kelly Nash doesn’t have a care in the world. Work at the mill is easy, Grandfather doesn’t tell him what to do, and Kelly is one of the best boys in town—or so he believes himself to be. But Kelly has one major flaw—he doesn’t think! There’s nothing he wouldn’t do for a good laugh, and life is one big game. So it is for the simpleminded.

    What will it take for Kelly to cast off his naivety and become wise and discerning? It’ll take a lot, but seldom does God bring change in expected ways. For Kelly, it is little Annie Ingalls with her angelic smile and unassuming ways, but even her loveable character doesn’t keep Kelly from targeting her with boyish pranks. What secret power could Annie possess in her tiny frame? She’s different. She doesn’t cry or get angry; in fact, she doesn’t seem bothered by anything. How does she forgive so easily?

    Kelly’s conscience is waking up. Even though he doesn’t think, there is One who has never stopped thinking about him, and He is about to get Kelly’s attention. Swept away in the whirlwind of life, and a flood that could move mills and mountains, Kelly has a choice to make: either start thinking or die!

  • Standing Strong: Firm Until the End (Salome Hocking)

    As soon as you enter this story you will meet a condescending father; a quiet, supportive wife; two rambunctious brothers; and a bright-eyed orphan girl.

    It’s no secret that Mr. Graham married his beautiful young wife for her money, but sweet Alice Graham buries her deep hurt within and pours out all her love upon her two boys. Although Bert and Alfie are as close as two brothers can be, they couldn’t be more opposite! Alfie is a charmer, while Bert is reserved. Alfie enjoys recognition while Bert prefers solitude, working with his hands.

    One day, a revival sweeps through town, planting seeds into many hearts. Yet not every seed takes root. Holding fast to his convictions, regardless of the consequences, one brother learns what it means to, “count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord” (Philippians 3:8) while the other is unable to stand against the taunts of his unbelieving father.

    This powerful little story merges together difficult themes such as abuse, changing family dynamics, and persecution of faith. Yet in the face of such opposition arises manly integrity, biblical submission, honesty, and Christ-like forgiveness.

    As you step into the pages of this book, I invite you to see yourself in the shoes of the characters within—whether you’re like Uncle Dick who struggles with forgiveness; Alfie who longs to please; Bert who faces great temptation; or Alice who learns what it means to love and respect a greedy, self-absorbed husband. 

    I ask you to suspend judgment, and enjoy Standing Strong: Firm Until the End.

  • The Making of a Hero (Elizabeth Prentiss)

    Charming, handsome, and popular, Horace Wheeler seems to have it all; yet, his life grows emptier by the day. As he fritters away the years with girls and galas, little does he realize that the world and all its pleasures are drowning out his true calling—and the loving counsel of his beloved mentor, Aunt Jane.

    To love God and to love a pure and true woman…this was Aunt Jane’s exhortation to her young protégé. She loved him as her own son, but her constant prayers seemed to no avail. He loved her as his own mother—but she had the nasty habit of reading his mind, and her keen eyes always had a knack for revealing his vices and lack of virtue (especially in his choice of girls).

    But the prayer of a righteous man avails much, and the love of God is much greater than the strongholds of Satan. Through great tragedy and triumph, Horace is brought once more to the throne of grace—but this time, he accepts the free gift of a loving Savior. The heart that was once hidden away under the waistcoat of youthful lusts and worldly passions is now throbbing with new life and new purpose!

    Horace has finally responded to this first plea of his mentor—to love God.  Now for his next great battle, to love a pure and true woman…will Horace ever find her?
