Horace's one desire was to be in love, which led him even into proposing! Aunt Jane was a sincere, kind-hearted Christian widow that was not always appreciated for her words of wisdom or her little "sermons". Those little sermons interfered with the good times he had with the less serious youth he kept company with. Horace's unfailing sense of humor and easy manner made him a favorite in his "crowd." Aunt Jane's prayers continually followed Horace after enlisting in the Civil War where he became a different person; not only physically but spiritually. "Aunt Jane's Hero" is a well-told Christian story of how God can work in the life of young people" $7.95 [This is a beautifully crafted story and gives a vivid description of a godly home life. - Mrs. White]  "Little Susy Stories" by Elizabeth Prentiss 263 Pages "You will discover these stories to be very fine reading for your children. Mrs. Prentiss does not gloss over the failings of little children. She uses the characters in her stories to teach adults and children how to behave. Enjoy the humor, pathos, and love found in these delightful tales. May you be blessed by Elizabeth Prentiss work; it was her desire." $7.99 [This is such a cute book with lovely writing. It will delight your children as they listen to what life was like in the "nursery' long ago for young ones of another era. - Mrs. White]  "The Flower of the Family" by Elizabeth Prentiss 208 Pages "A touching story of Lucy, the second child of ten children.

Elizabeth Prentiss has once again brought the trials and cares of this world into perspective for the Christian in this lovely story of a young lady who is dedicated to Christ." $7.99  "Urbane and His Friends" by Elizabeth Prentiss 318 Pages "This is quite likely the best book Elizabeth Prentiss wrote. Christians today will be personally blessed by the questions discussed and principles clarified. Mrs. Prentiss explains, encourages and urges us onward in our walk with Jesus through her characters and their lives. We are admonished to "Go to God expecting to find Him" (p. 160). May your expectations be realized." $7.99  "Stepping Heavenward" by Elizabeth Prentiss 272 Pages. "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. We desperately need such intimate accounts when the word commitment is so little understood and so seldom practiced. A nineteenth century Christian woman speaks through the centuries in this timeless classic written in journal style. Follow her as she takes you on a journey to spiritual maturity from the age of sixteen-until just before her death." $7.99 [This was the very first book I read of her work. Oh what tears will fall as the power of her writing fills your soul!! Be prepared to be transformed more than you could ever realize.
