The Lost Ruby and The Lost Child (Christoph von Schmid)
$15.50The Lost Ruby is a classic story designed to teach children that honesty is worth pursuing, regardless of the cost. This book also contains one of Von Schmid’s finest short stories, The Lost Child, which shows the mystery of how God trains us with hardships and uses them to bless us.
This is the story of young Lieutenant Wildberg and the heavy price he paid for succumbing to the subtle temptation of worldly logic.

My Mates and I (O. F. Walton)
$16.00A penetrating story which covers a lot of territory that teenage young men are all too familiar with: the power of peer influence, the consequences of ignoring our conscience, the deception of self-reform, and the danger of a backslidden condition.
Charlie Wescott is a “wayside hearer” – one who allows the seed of truth to be snatched up by idle thoughts, idle talk, and idle companions. He lives for the moment, giving no thought to the pain he may be inflicting on himself and others. But it is also a story of redemption – giving us a glimpse of God’s loving hand that is still stretched out to us with mercies.
First published in 1878.
Character themes in this story: peer pressure and salvation.

Putting Away Fear (Sally Michael)
$11.00It can be a despairing thought for a child to think that he must live with fear the rest of his life.

The Pillar of Fire (J. H. Ingraham)
$21.50A highly colorful, suspenseful story of the visit of the Prince of Tyre to Egypt, with a regal eloquence unlike any other lamplighter book. Colorful drama that sheds light on portions of the Old Testament from events 3,500 years ago.
The story is an effort to portray a Biblical account, through historical fiction, in which Moses and the Israelite exodus from Egyptian bondage is told through a series of letters, written primarily by Sesostris, Prince of Tyre, to his mother, Queen Epiphia of Phoenicia, while visiting in Egypt. Some 40 years later, Remeses continues the writing to his son to Sesostris while he too is visiting in Egypt after his father has risen to the throne.
Other than the fictional Prince of Tyre and the obvious “poetic license” needed to fill in the details, the plot is amazingly true to the Biblical account.
