- Summary:
- This book is filled with tales of intrigue, love, mystery, and adventure from thirty-one best loved authors.
- Whether you like to curl up on the sofa with a good book, or read to your children at bedtime, this thoughtful collection has something for everyone -- both fiction and true-life stories, some long in the past and others present day, and all about the Christian life and how God works.
- From a modernized condensation of John Bunyan's classic Pilgrim's Progress to Barbara Robinson's endearing The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, this collection gives glimpses into childhood pleasures, adolescent growing pains, grown-up lessons in maturity, and ultimately the Christian's victory over death.
