But I realize I found a role model in that traveling printer whom Harold Bell Wright had brought to life. He set me on a course I’ve tried to follow even unto this day. I shall always be grateful.”

Ishmael: Or, In the Depths (Eden Southworth)
Eden Southworth considered Ishmael her finest written work, based on the life of one of the noblest men who ever lived, suffered, toiled, and triumphed in her land. Its inspirations of wisdom and goodness were drawn from the examples of heroic warriors and statesmen of the Revolution.
Ishmael – born in the depths of poverty, misery, and humiliation and raised to the summit of fame – was good as well as great. His life is proof that there is no depth of human misery from which we may not, by virtue, energy, and perseverance, rise to earthly honors, and by God’s grace, attain eternal glory.

Long Story Short: Ten-Minute Devotions to Draw Your Family to God (Marty Machowski)
Transform Your Family with Ten Minutes a Day in the Gospel Story
The Bible can seem like a long story for an active family to read, but when you break it down into short sections, as Marty Machowski does, family devotions are easy to do. Long Story Short will help busy parents share with their children how every story in the Old Testament points forward to God’s story of salvation through Jesus Christ. You won’t find a more important focus for a family devotional than a daily highlighting of the gospel of grace. Clever stories and good moral lessons may entertain and even help children, but the gospel will transform children. The gospel is deep enough to keep the oldest and wisest parents learning and growing all their lives, yet simple enough to transform the heart of the first grader who has just begun to read.
Ten minutes a day, five days a week is enough time to pass on the most valuable treasure the world has ever known. Long Story Short is a family devotional program designed to explain God’s plan of salvation through the Old Testament and is suitable for children from preschool through high school.

The Battle (A. L. O. E.)

In The Battle, through circumstances beyond their control, the Roby family find themselves separated and left to each fend alone through unforeseen trials. Will they skillfully wield the sword, as they had been taught?
Jostled in the rough thoroughfare of the world, Aleck is forced to obey promptly, act decidedly, and expose himself fearlessly and freely. What he needs most is a quick hand, a ready eye, and a gallant heart! Just as the thunderous waves threaten to swallow him up, he sees a life-boat in the midst of the storm! A welcome new addition to the Lamplighter Rare Collector’s Series, from the author fondly known as “A Lady of England” (A.L.O.E.).

Throw Me Overboard, or, Happy Ned: The Reward of Honesty
Now 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.

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.”
Character themes in this story: self-control.

My Mates and I (O. F. Walton)
A 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.

The Spanish Brothers (Deborah Alcock)
What do the families in Seville do, when persecution bursts suddenly upon them? Carlos is imprisoned and put to “the Question”, but no tortures can make him deny the Lord, or even betray his friends who share his faith in Christ. This is a story of the horrors of The Inquisition, a largely forgotten period of time.
Presenting us with the courageous fortitude of men and women who would not deny the faith, even when the path to glory was through anguish in the body, here is a story that urges us all to press on through all obstacles. It’s an account of 16th-century believers that will leave you speechless. Themes: enduring persecution, perseverance, courage, through the Spanish inquisition.

(U) John Ploughman’s Talk (Charles Spurgeon)
A book very different than any of Charles Spurgeon’s theological writings, which makes it even more special. It’s a book that cuts to the chase with his witty yet straightforward discourse on personal issues that were relevant back then and continue to demand attention today.
It appears that, where formal sermons may have fallen on deaf ears, then Spurgeon personalizes himself as farmer “John Ploughman”. He takes to the streets in the common language of the people and lays bare the issues of man in his no-nonsense style. Highly recommended reading for Family Devotions!
