Description

The books in this series are copies of 18th and 19th century books. The stories have the original language, sentence structure, and art. The stories present problems people faced, and the principles they preached are as relevant today as they were then. May God be pleased to bless the contents of our "Children's Heritage Series" to the lives of each reader. Webster's warning was given many years ago; times have changed, but not in a Godly manner. The mission of Triangle Press is to furnish concerned parents tools to help teach children the truth. This "Children's Heritage Series" has not been rewritten as the Character Building Series was, but the books are reproduced in their original form; a form which some feel is antiquated. True. However, they represent not only the teachings of Godly principals, but they also represent a piece of our history and heritage. The vocabulary contained in these books is rich and varied; it is a far cry from the usual limited and bland use of words found in much of today's children's literature. Some children may even be challenged to rewrite a story in modern grammar; the stories may also be used as a springboard for family study and discussion. There are many aspects of this "Children's Heritage Series" to be cherished. The pages of this book contain three short narratives which we believe to be timely messages for young people of this day. The Widow's Son tells the story of a young man leaving a godly mother to learn a trade in the city. He is influenced by evil companions and turns to a life of riotous living to the sorrow of his mother and landlord. The story goes on to tell how the Lord ladened him with a disease which brought him close todeath and the realization of eternity. The story truly demonstrates the power of prayer. The story of The Watchmaker and His Family tells of a poor watchmaker's struggles to provide for his family and remain true to his Biblical convictions. It demonstrates the Lord's wonderful hand of providence on those who keep His commandments even though they may seem ridiculous to the world. In 'Tis All for the Best, the reader can learn how even amidst grievous trials of the flesh, the Lord is gracious to those who love Him. The narrative, as told by Mrs. Simpson, relates how a man and wife endured many hardships, bringing them to trust less in the world and more in Him who is able to provide all things necessary for time and eternity.
