Our Island Saints: Stories for Children (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Our Island Saints: Stories for ChildrenThere was once a child who spent many happy hours in a beautiful garden. She loved to play among the &#64258;owers, to stand on tiptoe and look up at the stately white lilies, or bend down to search among the fragrant leaves for sweet-scented violets. Such rare and exquisite &#64258;owers blossomed all around her, that it was difficult to decide which was the fairest, and the child used to fancy as She passed along that each one whispered to her choose me.' But she would only shake her head and hurry on, until she reached her own little plot of &#64258;owers in a corner of the garden. It was not so sunny or so gay, perhaps, as some of the other &#64258;ower beds, but it belonged to her, and that made it beautiful in her eyes.It is you I love best, dear &#64258;owers, ' she would say, bending down lovingly over the velvet pansies and sweet pinks, because you are my very own, and grow in my very own garden.'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from When They Were Children: Stories of the Childhood of Famous Men and Women So whenever it is possible it is well to consider the time of preparation as well as to admire the finished work, and we shall learn to know these great men and women all the better for hearing something of what they thought and did when they were children. Souls are built as temples are Sunken deep, unseen, unknown, Lies the sure foundation stone; Then the courses framed to bear Lift the Cloisters, pillared fair; Last of all the airy spire, Soaring Heavenward, higher and higher, Nearest sun and nearest star.

From the scores of beautiful and thrilling tales in the Bible, celebrated British author Amy Steedman has collected three dozen that are sure to delight young children. 
 With the confidence of a master storyteller practiced in holding the attention of even the most restless child, she weaves tales of Noah and Moses, Solomon and David, and Daniel in the lion's den. She leads young listeners to marvel at prophesies of the coming Savior, to be charmed by the gentle goodness of His boyhood, and be dazzled by the scores of miracles that proved He is the Messiah coming to save Israel ... and to save, as well, every little child who hears these stories. 
 Continuing with stories about events after the Resurrection, Miss Steedman takes young readers along with Peter, Paul, and the Apostles as they carry the Good News to the ends of the Earth, and she even gives them a glimpse, with St. John, of the marvels promised for the end of time. 
 Today, too many religious books for young children trivialize the story of salvation and its many tales of mystery and majesty. 
 Not these classic read-aloud stories that have proven their worth for over a century now. 
 These stories are suited to the unlimited understanding of young children; but they re proportioned as well to the immense powers of imagination which remain uncrippled in little children, leaving them for the meantime still able and willing to believe in the truth of good things, and in marvels they may not yet understand. 
 Now is the time to read Amy Steedman's remarkable Bible stories to your child ... to plant in their souls these sweet seeds of truth and beauty. Be patient! Not too long from now, you ll find them blooming into a mature and abiding faith in Jesus.
