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.

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!

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

The Passage metaphorically describes the journey we must all take, in one form or another, as we grope through the darkness – desperately searching for purpose, for security, for adventure, or perhaps for a way out; as one boy searches for truth, another for gold and personal glory.
We must all embark upon a journey which leads us either toward the light or away from it. May your passage be so brightly lit that you can clearly see the way, and that others might follow.
