Or, are my concerns about our compatibility valid?” If thoughts and questions like this trouble you, this book may help. Here’s an inventory to help you decide if the light on the road before you is green, yellow or red.

Set in 15th century Europe, this is the tale of the meeting of two men—Theobold and Erhard—knights in two hostile armies, who are placed in circumstances in which they are forced to learn Jesus’ principle from the Sermon on the Mount: “But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you…”.Written and first published in 1871, the author allows the light of lives transformed by the grace of God to beautifully shine, as one known among men for being “Iron-Hearted” desires a softened heart given by God, and the Holy Spirit to teach him to have a childlike submission to his true King, Jesus.This volume is one of the eleven titles in the “Children’s Character-Building Collection", our popular reprints of 19th-century Christian books for young children.

Charles certainly had more than enough troubles in life for a boy his age. After all, how many of us would adjust easily to being orphaned at a young age? So it was that his rebellious ways began, as Charles resisted the control of any rules in his life.But Charles was favored with the privilege of being adopted by a kind, godly woman, though his adoptive father did not care at all about knowing God.

Children will see themselves in Charles'' weaknesses, struggles, and temptations.This volume is one of the eleven titles in the "Children''s Character-Building Collection", our popular reprints of 19th-century Christian books for young children.

Do you believe what the Lord Jesus said is true even of your children: "out of what fills the heart, the mouth speaks"? In the same way in which weeds can grow and take over an otherwise fruitful field, so sin can grow in the hearts of children, alongside other good traits, and yet be ignored or unnoticed by both them and their parents.One of our most life-changing titles of all, "The Weed With an Ill Name" shows children the danger of self-righteousness. How easily children raised in a Christian home can presumptuously judge others to be worse than themselves, and thus ignore their own faults!This volume is one of eleven titles in the "Children''s Character-Building Collection", our popular reprints of 19th-century Christian books for young children.

Unwanted from birth and abused throughout her childhood, Glenda was desperate for love and a sense of belonging. Her only respite from a miserable home life was school, and the welcoming shade of her favorite willow tree, under which she would dream of another life, another family, and pray to a God she did not yet know. Ultimately, Glenda''s afflictions became the cords with which God drew her to Himself. Receiving His salvation, she understood that God had saved her from her own sinfulness, more than horrid conditions and treatment by others. This is a story of great hope, an amazing account of how our merciful Savior brings light out of darkness, joy out of sorrow, and peace out of pain. Highly recommended by Elisabeth Elliot.
