Doctor
Forester, a medical man only twenty-five years old, has come to a
lonely part of Wales to escape from an event in his recent past
that has caused him much hurt. So he has more on his mind than
worrying about strange noises behind his bedroom wall in the old
castle where he is staying.

A young woman
who shares part of the journey with him is staying in the same
village. He is deeply attracted to her, and believes that she is
equally attracted to him. But he soon has every reason to think
that his old school friend Jack is also courting her.

Written and
taking place in the early 1900s, this romantic mystery is a mix of
excitement and heartbreak. What is the secret of Hildick Castle?
And can Doctor Forester rid himself of the past that now haunts his
life?

 

 

Mrs. O. F.
Walton was a prolific writer in the late 1800s, and this abridged
edition captures all of the original writer's insight into what
makes a memorable story. With occasional modern line drawings.

* * *

Ghosts of the
past kept flitting through his brain. Dark shadows which he tried
to chase away seemed to pursue him. Here these ghosts were to be
laid; here those shadows were to be dispelled; here that closed
chapter was to be buried for ever. So he fought long and hard with
the phantoms of the past until the assertive clock near his bedroom
door announced that it was two o'clock.

May Lindsay
and her young stepsister Maggie are left penniless and homeless
when their father the local doctor dies. Maggie can go to live with
her three maiden aunts, but May at the age of nineteen is faced
with a choice. Should she take the position of companion to a girl
she doesn't know, who lives some distance away, or accept a
proposal of marriage from the man who has been her friend since
they were small children?

May Lindsay
makes her decision, but it is not long before she wonders if she
has done the right thing. This is a story of life in Victorian
England as May, who has led a sheltered life, is pushed out into a
much bigger world than she has previously known. She soon
encounters titled families, and is taken on a tour of the Holy Land
which occupies much of the story.

 

 

Two men seem
to be a big disappointment to May Lindsay. Will her Christian faith
hold strong in these troubles? Was she right in the decision she
made before leaving home?

In His
Steps

Charles M.
Sheldon

Abridged
Edition

 

This new
abridged edition of a classic story that has sold over an estimated
30 million copies, contains Charles Sheldon's original writing,
with some passages sensitively abridged to allow his powerful story
to come through for today's readers. Nothing in the storyline has
been changed.

A homeless man
staggers into a wealthy church and upsets the congregation. A week
later he is dead. This causes the Rev. Henry Maxwell to issue a
startling challenge to his congregation and to himself -- whatever
you do in life over the next twelve months, ask yourself this
question before making any decision: "What would Jesus do?"

The local
newspaper editor, a novelist, a wealthy young woman who has
inherited a million dollars, her friend who has been offered a
professional singing career, the superintendent of the railroad
workshops, a leading city merchant and others take up the
challenge. But how will it all work out when things don't go as
expected?

A bishop gives
up his comfortable lifestyle -- and finds his life threatened in
the city slums. The story is timeless. A great read, and a
challenge to every Christian today.

A Previously
Unpublished Book

Locked Door
Shuttered Windows

A Novel by J
Stafford Wright

 

What is inside
the fascinating house with the locked door and the shuttered
windows? Satan wants an experiment. God allows it. John is caught
up in the plan as Satan’s human representative. The experiment? To
demonstrate that there can be peace in the world if God allows
Satan to run things in his own way. A group of people gather
together in an idyllic village run by Satan, with no reference to
God, and no belief in him.

J Stafford
Wright has written this startling and gripping account of what
happens when God stands back and Satan steps forward. All seems to
go well for the people who volunteer to take part. And no
Christians allowed!

John Longstone
lost his faith when teaching at a theological college. Lost it for
good -- or so he thinks. And then he meets Kathleen who never had a
faith. As the holes start to appear in Satan’s scheme for peace,
they wonder if they should help or hinder the plans which seem to
have so many benefits for humanity.

Silverbeach
Manor

Margaret S.
Haycraft

Abridged
edition

 

Pansy is an
orphan who is cared for by her aunt, Temperance Piper, who keeps
the village post office and store. One day Pansy meets wealthy Mrs.
Adair who offers to take her under her wing and give her a life of
wealth in high society that she could never dream of, on condition
Pansy never revisits her past life. When they first meet, Mrs.
Adair says about Pansy's clothes, "The style is a little out of
date, but it is good enough for the country. I should like to see
you in a really well-made dress. It would be quite a new sensation
for you, if you really belong to these wilds. I have a crimson and
gold tea gown that would suit you delightfully, and make you quite
a treasure for an artist." This is a story of rags to riches to ...
well, to a life where nothing is straightforward. First published
in 1891.
