The Making of a Hero (Elizabeth Prentiss)
$23.99$25.00
Charming, handsome, and popular, Horace Wheeler seems to have it all; yet, his life grows emptier by the day. As he fritters away the years with girls and galas, little does he realize that the world and all its pleasures are drowning out his true calling—and the loving counsel of his beloved mentor, Aunt Jane.
To love God and to love a pure and true woman…this was Aunt Jane’s exhortation to her young protégé. She loved him as her own son, but her constant prayers seemed to no avail. He loved her as his own mother—but she had the nasty habit of reading his mind, and her keen eyes always had a knack for revealing his vices and lack of virtue (especially in his choice of girls).
But the prayer of a righteous man avails much, and the love of God is much greater than the strongholds of Satan. Through great tragedy and triumph, Horace is brought once more to the throne of grace—but this time, he accepts the free gift of a loving Savior. The heart that was once hidden away under the waistcoat of youthful lusts and worldly passions is now throbbing with new life and new purpose!
Horace has finally responded to this first plea of his mentor—to love God. Now for his next great battle, to love a pure and true woman…will Horace ever find her?

Kelly Nash: Out on a Limb (Sarah Baker)
$16.95I’m Kelly Nash, the best fellow in the place. Everybody likes me; and I like myself!
Brimming with mischief and armed with a twinkle in his eyes, Kelly Nash doesn’t have a care in the world. Work at the mill is easy, Grandfather doesn’t tell him what to do, and Kelly is one of the best boys in town—or so he believes himself to be. But Kelly has one major flaw—he doesn’t think! There’s nothing he wouldn’t do for a good laugh, and life is one big game. So it is for the simpleminded.
What will it take for Kelly to cast off his naivety and become wise and discerning? It’ll take a lot, but seldom does God bring change in expected ways. For Kelly, it is little Annie Ingalls with her angelic smile and unassuming ways, but even her loveable character doesn’t keep Kelly from targeting her with boyish pranks. What secret power could Annie possess in her tiny frame? She’s different. She doesn’t cry or get angry; in fact, she doesn’t seem bothered by anything. How does she forgive so easily?
Kelly’s conscience is waking up. Even though he doesn’t think, there is One who has never stopped thinking about him, and He is about to get Kelly’s attention. Swept away in the whirlwind of life, and a flood that could move mills and mountains, Kelly has a choice to make: either start thinking or die!
