Poor Hans was always getting hurt and was clumsy with tools in the family carpentry business. Though he loved to read, school was a difficult struggle and his teacher punished him for not learning his lessons. "Why did God make such a good-for-nothing?" Hans wondered. "What''s the point of Hans being in school when he could be earning money?" his harsh father thought. But God doesn''t make mistakes and He has a beautiful plan for Hans. Taught to love God by his godly grandmother, Hans grows through his trials and finds his life''s purpose.Set in the Black Forest of Germany, The Little Preacher departs from most Prentiss books which take place in her own New England region. This gives the book a unique flavor and we see a glimpse into 19th-century German peasant life.

Lucy is an introspective teen girl living in 1853 New England, one of the eldest in a large family. Everything changes for Lucy when her rich uncle offers to take her to New York City to relax and regain her health, after working her whole life on a poor country farm. But she doesn''t go alone-her God and Savior is with her. And as she learns to listen to his still, small voice, she becomes a joyful woman of God, shining her light on all around her. Her internal struggles with sin and life are universal and we can listen in on her conversations-with herself, cousin Helen, beloved brother Arthur, and the unusual and amusing Mrs. Prigott.
