Bible Truths For Little Children (full 5-volume set)
$25.99A delightfully simple but rich five-volume Bible story set, reprinted from the 1800s.
Bible storybooks are known to often take far too many liberties with the biblical text, altering it drastically in an effort to “simplify” for children. This rare set avoids that pitfall and instead skillfully maintains great biblical accuracy while retelling the Bible stories in language very young children can easily understand!
Many readers have marveled to us at how true to Scripture this set is. These volumes are some of the best Christian family reading we have, especially for children eight and under.

Roses and Thorns
$8.00These two short stories in one, Roses and Thorns, and the shorter story, Prison Roses, were regarded as one of the most appealing of the volumes published in the 1800’s by the American Tract Society for the promotion of Christian character.

The Bible in the Wall

The Weed with an Ill Name
$8.00New cover and type-set edition of one of our finest children’s stories, reprinted from the 19th century. Few children’s books speak frankly with them about their own sinful nature and inclinations; or their tendency to judge harshly those who sin in ways that they do not believe themselves capable of.
There may be no children’s story ever published which displays these points better than this one — and also persuading children how sin is like the tough roots of weeds, which must be pulled out of their hold in the soil, before they by degrees take over the entire field of our hearts.

Grace to the Humble
$6.00The Stories of Tom White the Postboy and Charles Jones the Footman

The Dairyman’s Daughter (Legh Richmond)
$7.00One of the 19th century’s most well-read stories for girls. Over three (3) million copies sold before 1900. Read this once and you’ll wonder why you never heard this story before.

A child of a poor dairy farmer in England, Richmond met Elizabeth in 1798 upon his arrival as the new minister on the Isle of Wight. He learned from her of a proud past in which she forsook all love of her family, but then of the sweet love of Christ which was formed in her and the shining testimony she became as a witness for Him with her holy life. Richmond regarded Elizabeth as “one of the best-versed persons in the Scriptures” whom he had ever met and considered meeting her one of the highest privileges of his life.
