The Shepherd of Bethlehem (A. L. O. E.)
Charlotte Maria Tucker (1821 – 1893) was a prolific writer and poet for children and adults, who preferred to write under the pseudonym A.L.O.E. (a Lady of England).
A charming tale which includes cottage lectures on the history of David, which the incidents in the story illustrate. This book is unique in that it weaves lengthy passages of scripture throughout the entire book. The passages are paralleled to the characters in the story, and they, in turn, respond to their life challenges according to God’s Word. Isn’t that what His Word is supposed to do for us? This was a story that I just couldn’t put down.
This is the 1st volume of the “Faith Pictures” Series. The 2nd volume is Exiles in Babylon, by the same author, and third of The Shepherd of Bethlehem.

(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!

Triumph Over Midian (A. L. O. E.)
Charlotte Maria Tucker (1821 – 1893) was a prolific writer and poet for children and adults, who preferred to write under the pseudonym A.L.O.E. (a Lady of England).
This is the 4th and final book in the Heroes of Faith Series. The characters familiar to that series engage in spiritual warfare – in this case, struggles of heart that trample down our joy in the Lord: Disappointment, Discontentment, Dissension, and Distrust. While these are formidable foes, they can and shall be conquered in Christ.
Through faith the heroes old were made strong; they were valiant in executing their mission to triumph over the fierce force of the Midianites. As Gideon conquered, so through the power of God Almighty, we too also shall. 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.).
“While the Heroes of Faith Series might be my favorite Lamplighter publications, I think Triumph Over Midian might be my favorite in that series!” — Mark Hamby
Character themes in this story: selflessness and selfishness.
