A Faith That Is My Own (Mrs. O. F. Walton)
$18.00$20.00
Little Olive Stewart couldn’t be happier now that Mother is back from India. But her happiness is soon to be tested when a fire destroys their home and belongings. There she stands in the pouring rain, watching over her siblings while her mother and older brother try to salvage what they can from the smoldering debris. As a test of faith, Olive encounters her first great trial.
Yet it takes more than a single tragedy for Olive to trust in her mother’s Saviour. Mrs. Stewart’s greatest desire is for her children to possess a faith that is their own, but how does she ensure her children possess this faith? That is a prayer yet to be answered.
A few years later, Olive steps into a new stage of life. Leaving childhood behind, it is at boarding school that she quickly learns that her faith has been, up to this point, untested. With her beautiful journal, a gift given to her by her mother, she is encouraged to write about her experiences. Believing that there is nothing to write worth recording, Olive is surprised that every day is filled with new adventures, lessons, mishaps, revelations, and above all, a blossoming love for her Savior. Guided by her motto, “What Would Jesus Do,” Olive learns what it means to “count it all joy,” as her faith is tested.
This endearing story will draw you into the world of a little girl’s journey into womanhood, living out a faith that is her own.

Dashed to Pieces (A. L. O. E.)
$13.50A Tale of Roman Prince Virgilius
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).
Word has spread that Paul’s teachings have persuaded some of the elite Roman Guard to believe in the one true God, Jesus Christ. If they walk in the light of the truth, their wealth and property will be forfeited; more importantly, believers who reveal their faith risk not only their lives, but place their spouse and children in harm’s way.
Will a Roman soldier forsake all and take up his cross and follow Jesus? Be prepared to be on the edge of your seat as slaves and generals find themselves on equal footing, hiking treacherous mountain paths in the midst of a catastrophic flood. Salvation may be found in a most unexpected way!

Fastened Like Nails Vol. 1 (F. W. Boreham)
$13.50Formerly titled Wings of the Morning.
This treasure sat on my bookshelf for over twenty years! I am grateful that during his morning address at the Guild, Dr. Zacharias quoted snippets of wisdom by Frank Boreham, whom he considers to be one of the most important theologians of his personal library.
I now place Fastened Like Nails as one of my top ten books. It describes the power of the Word of God in the lives of such men as Luther, Tyndale, Wycliffe, Knox, Whitfield, Pascal, Judson, Livingstone, Paton, Carey, Newton, Bunyan, Cromwell, Taylor, Spurgeon, and Chalmers. The background of each man’s personal conquest makes every story rich and colorful, mixed with tragedy and sacrifice.

Comfortable Troubles (Elizabeth Prentiss)

On more than one occasion you will want to rescue her and give Miss Prigott a piece of your mind!
While many would buckle under daily oppression, Lucy becomes stronger. She is encouraged by her mother’s teaching, “Almost anyone can run away from temptation. It is far nobler, and requires a higher degree of strength, to meet and conquer it.” With a determined spirit Lucy regains more than just her health.
Character themes in this story: selflessness and selfishness.
