The Painted Fly (Christoph von Schmid)
$16.50$18.00
The Painted Fly is a love story—for both children and adults. It is a tale of unquenchable love that leads the reader on a journey of surprise endings—or rather, surprise beginnings.
Although written in the classic style of Christoph von Schmid, author of The Basket of Flowers, the characters of The Painted Fly were created with distinct personalities that provide a new twist to Von Schmid’s stories.
At the heart of the story (without telling you the surprise climax!), is the revelation that love does not easily surrender, even in the face of insurmountable obstacles. As 1 Corinthians 13 tells us, love never gives up; it is not passive, yet neither is it demanding. But in this innovative story, through myriad twists and turns, you will also discover that love is extremely creative!

The Basket of Flowers (Christoph von Schmid)
$19.00This was the very first book of the Lamplighter Rare Collector’s Series, and it will always remain a perennial best-seller. James, the king’s gardener, has mastered the art of teaching his 15-year-old daughter Mary the principles of godliness, finding creative ways to converse based on their work in the garden. But soon Mary is falsely accused of stealing, and the penalty is severe.
Regardless, young Mary remembers what her father had taught her: that it is better to suffer for the truth than to live for a lie, and that the worst pillow to sleep on is the pillow of a guilty conscience! A story that many regard as our finest character-building story of all. Themes: faith, forgiveness, suffering for righteousness’ sake and overcoming evil with good.
Join James, the godly gardener, and his daughter Mary who endure wrongful accusation and yet walk in integrity. See any of the Lamplighter Rare Collectors Series for outstanding family reading books.
Character themes in this story: laziness, perseverance, virtue and purity.
