Fighting Wolves (J. R. Williamson and R. M. Freedman)
Wolves have had a bit of a P.R. campaign lately. If fairy tales were being written today the wolf would save the three little pigs and escort Little Red Riding Hood to safety. But it wasn’t always like that. People in the days of the early church saw wolves as wild predators. That’s why the Apostle Paul described the false teachers who sought to destroy Christians as ‘savage wolves’. There was great danger in the early church of those false teachers leading Christians into error by teaching lies. So let’s go to the very early years of the church to discover the names of those people who fought for and against God’s truth. Characters included:
The Apostle James;Basil the Great; Ambrose of Milan; John Chrysostom; Simeon Stylites, Monica of Hippo; Augustine.$8.99 -

God gave them instructions about how to make a special tent – where He could be present among His people. Find out about how they made this tent and what special furniture and curtains were placed inside it. How did they build the tent and how did they carry it from one place to another? The priests made sacrifices to atone for the sin of the people, but the tabernacle or tent of meeting was a place that taught the people about the one who was going to save them from their sin for good – Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah.

President Lincoln Listened (D. L. Moody)
On a cold and frosty night a young man fights to stay awake as he struggles to keep an eye out for the enemy. The American civil war is in full swing and one family among many thousands are desperately waiting for their son to come home.
That night he falls asleep at his post and his punishment is going to be the firing squad. There is nothing the young man’s family can do to change the outcome … except maybe one thing.
His sister remembers reading the life of Abraham Lincoln. She is sure that if she could just meet him and tell him, face to face, what was about to happen to her brother he would do all he could to help save her brother’s life.
Once the President knows how much her parents love her brother and how they are all longing for him to come home surely her plea will be answered?
D L Moody tells the touching story of one young soldier’s narrow escape from death in a way that focuses your mind on Christ and his compassion for sinners. If Abraham Lincoln could show mercy on a young soldier and his family surely our Lord Jesus Christ can show compassion to those who turn to him.
