In the home of a rich merchant, two hard heads with fiery tempers abide. Like the age-old story of the Prodigal Son, the distress that comes with stubborn pride gives way to a softening of heart. Though God often leads His children in mysterious paths, it is always for their good.

The Parable of the Two Millstones illustrates just how powerful the gift of forgiveness can be. The story of Seppeli brings to light the severity of the famine of Switzerland in 1817, unmasking the hypocrite and proving the faith of God?s devoted followers. The compelling adage to “be industrious and pray”, is at the heart of this telling tale.

Also includes a second story, Sepelli, the Swiss Boy, translated from German as well, by Franz Sales Meyer.
