Faithful, But Not Famous Author: Emma Leslie Written in: 1872 Pages: 242 Once again, a writer of old has portrayed a vivid account of a godly father who imparts the gospel to his son. This marvelous work reflects the era of the Reformation and those who gave their lives, suffering for the gospel that only Christ could forgive sins... a message contrary to the "church" at this time. Beyond this, another message is woven into this story-that of the Savior's call on a life, even that of a child. You will not put this book down! About the Author: Emma Leslie was an author of many popular Christian books for children in the 19th century. Her works were so successful that many of them were still being printed in the 1930s. More than 40 of her books were published by the Religious Tract Society which was founded in 1799 for the purpose of publishing and distributing Christian literature. Its beginning was greatly a result of the Evangelical Revival. The Lamplighter Rare Collector Series is a beautifully bound collection of captivating, character-building literature, carefully selected and handsomely created. The beauty of a Lamplighter book is that character is not only taught, but is demonstrated through individuals whose character is tested through the storms of life. It was Scribner's editor who once wrote to Rawlings, author of The Yearling , “The characterization of a great book is that it is both juvenile and adult.” Within a year of the first printing of our Rare Collector books, we realized that we had indeed brought back to life literature that both children and adults enjoy. In fact, these stories were originally called “fireside readings,” meant to be read aloud as a family. Lamplighter books are filled with real-life themes shrouded in mystery; although the innocent may suffer wrongfully, ultimately good triumphs over evil. These ageless thematic elements bring new hope to a culture of fear and uncertainty. Today, parents are often frustrated as they attempt to counter today's culture with a biblical worldview. Lamplighter books can help. Parents, relax and enjoy precious moments with your family as the story does the teaching.
