OUR PRICE: $15.00
This first book of the Lamplighter Rare Collector's Series continues to be a 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. 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.

OUR PRICE: $17.00
Famous diary of a girl's spiritual maturation, taking us with her through teen years to becoming a sound-thinking, adult woman. The classic, journal-like account of a 19th-century girl's life and hopes. She learns, on the path to womanhood, that true happiness is found in giving one's life first to Christ and then, serving in His name, for others. "This book is a treasure of both godly and womanly wisdom told with disarming candor and humility, yet revealing a deep heart's desire to know God," says noted Christian speaker Elisabeth Elliot. "I do not hesitate to recommend it to men, who need to understand the wives they live with, and to any woman who wants to walk with God."
