The Duel (George E. Sargent)
$18.75“This story requires attentiveness, self-examination, and soul-searching. I found myself undone on many occasions, seeing myself on far too many pages. I’ve been admonished to live in the fear of God rather than the fear of man. So, my friends, if you are interested in a story that will challenge your manner of life and cause you to fall on your knees and beg God to change you, here it is.” — Mark Hamby
Written from the striking viewpoint of the Bible personified, The Duel reveals spiritual tensions that occur in friendships, business interactions, and family relationships. Themes of honesty, forgiveness, vengeance, greed, lust, and salvation are developed. In the end wisdom triumphs! The author unearths our secret struggles and hidden sins, powerfully weaving Scripture throughout to reveal how to avoid falling into despair, regret, and shame.

The Hedge of Thorns (John Carrol)
$14.50This true story from the 1600s is as fresh and relevant today as it was on the day it was written by the frail hand of the man who experienced life’s thorny hedges. Young John can think only of his own pleasure and is willing to do anything to get what he wants. He fails to see that the hedges placed in his life are to guide and protect him. A tragic fate awaits those who try to push through those spiritual hedges of protection, but a blessing is sure for those who keep within their boundaries.
Based on the true story of a little boy who will do nearly anything to discover what is on the other side of the hedge, which becomes an illustration of his life, and the consequences of his actions, when giving in to enticement and frustration.
Character themes in this story: choices, consequences, obedience and boundaries.

Quicksand: Getting to the Bottom (Eugenia D. Bigham)
$18.50Truth shines bright in life’s darkest hour. One perilous moment can change our lives forever, as when the Ripley baby suddenly falls overboard. But the simple faith and enduring trust of average, everyday people demonstrate that God is good. As the story builds, its colorful characters will inspire readers to take steps of faith with confidence, knowing that God keeps His promises. “The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him” (Nahum 1:7).

So Shall We Live
$22.50What is our life-work and how can we prepare for it? Every challenge we overcome in life gives us a boost in the right direction. And every selfish thought resisted, every lazy desire surrendered, is a step toward reaching our goal.
Edith’s lessons are like the ocean waves which steadily rise and fall. They seem to be making no difference at all, until their accumulation changes everything! When a great dark wave washes over her, turning her life upside down, she learns to rely on God’s help as He prepares her for the life-work that she was made to do.

The Painted Fly (Christoph von Schmid)
$16.50The Painted Fly is a love story—for both children and adults. It is a tale of unquenchable love that leads the reader on a journey of surprise endings—or rather, surprise beginnings.
Although written in the classic style of Christoph von Schmid, author of The Basket of Flowers, the characters of The Painted Fly were created with distinct personalities that provide a new twist to Von Schmid’s stories.
At the heart of the story (without telling you the surprise climax!), is the revelation that love does not easily surrender, even in the face of insurmountable obstacles. As 1 Corinthians 13 tells us, love never gives up; it is not passive, yet neither is it demanding. But in this innovative story, through myriad twists and turns, you will also discover that love is extremely creative!
$18.00 -
The Silver Keys (A. L. O. E.)
$25.00Another classic work from Charlotte Maria Tucker, who chose to be known by her pen-name of A. L. O. E. (A Lady of England)
What powerful grace unlocks the grip of pride even in the hardest hearts! The author of The Silver Keys reintroduces Ned Franks, whose visits to a dying man challenge our own willingness to be inconvenienced for the sake of the gospel. And through her changed life, a former drunkard demonstrates to all who knew her that the power of forgiveness is real!
Whether we’re in a position of giving or receiving, kindness is the key to opening the locked box of the human heart.

Out of the Pit: Right of Redemption (Hesba Stretton)
$19.75“I’ll never give it up,” Stephen promises his dying father. Their hut in the hollow is all they have, but it belongs to them. The bright, sunny valley stands in stark contrast to the dark, grimy coal pits nearby.
But Botfield’s pit provides work for the colliers, including young Stephen. He must be a man now and do a man’s work—Martha and little Nan are depending on him. And he is depending on the old Bible to teach him the right thing to do.
Through much pain, suffering, and unfathomable loss, Stephen’s character is strengthened as he learns to forgive—as he has been forgiven.

Their newly inherited home is grand but gloomy, neglected, and rumored to be haunted.
