Adventures of Richard Wagner (Opal Wheeler)
$12.95At the age of four, Wilhelm Richard Wagner made his first impression on the theatrical world when he pounded on a bass drum and stopped the performance at the Dresden Playhouse-right in the midst of his stepfather’s lines. This ill-fated incident put a temporary stop to Richard’s nights backstage, and the punishment was almost more than exuberant little “Dicker” could bear. No more trunks to explore, no more wigs to try on, no more lights and music and dancing. He had so loved being a part of his adored stepfather’s professional life.
But there were golden and impressionable years ahead for young Richard. He came under the haunting spell of Weber’s opera, Der Freischutz, and copied the entire score on his own music sheets to memorize. He avidly read Shakespeare’s plays and vowed he would write even greater tragedies. He staged puppet shows, wrote poetry, and dreamed fantastic dreams.

Augustine: The Truth Seeker
$8.99Although his mother was a faithful Christian, Augustine managed to stray into a sinful life. His life changed when he realized the truth of the Gospel. Augustine became a bishop and a tower of faith in the early church. His life is a glimpse into the days of Roman Africa and a powerful picture of the wisdom and durability of God’s Word in a pagan culture.
Augustine lived in troubled times near the end of the Roman Empire. Barbarians fought with Romans, and Christianity struggled against the worship of the old gods, and new cults. There were plenty of thrills for ambitious young men who did not care about following God’s laws, and Augustine made sure that he had his fill – despite the upset and shame it would bring to his godly mother.
During all of his wanderings, through the Roman world and through philosophy, it seemed impossible that Augustine would ever return to the truth. But it was possible, and today the Christian church has the proof in Augustine’s life and writings that God can bring the greatest, most stubborn, sinner to himself.

Jonathan Edwards: America’s Genius
$8.99Jonathan Edwards was just an ordinary American boy but he was different too. The country he lived in wasn’t the America of today — but a new world full of adventure and opportunity. Battles and Tomahawks were just some of the thrilling adventures that his family lived through.
But Jonathan also loved the small things in life too. In an age of scientific discovery, Edwards saw God’s beauty displayed most perfectly through nature. His journals are filled with drawings of plants, animals, and spiders because he knew that each one of them reflected the creativity of its Creator.
His mind was full of questions and he grappled for the answers. Intellectually there were few to beat him. However it wasn’t just his amazing intelligence that set him apart from other boys his age – he may have had a thirst for knowledge but he also had a strong desire for the things of God. His genius and abilities teamed up well with his faith and love for the Lord Jesus Christ.
One day the country that would become the United States of America would look back at this man of brilliance as a founding influence on their land.
