When it is Saturday, do you ever think about it that the next day will be the Lord’s Day? Do you ever stop and consider that it is the day before Sunday? Often, Saturdays are busy. Maybe it would be helpful to read something from the Bible, and some words in connection with it, on a Saturday night.
Leah and Melissa are traveling through the night to reach their grandparents’ house in time for Christmas. Brent is nervous because he has to play an organ piece at a Christmas concert. Mark and Meghan have a secret. The children in this book have many things that happen to them. They all happen around Christmas time. Christmas is a busy time, and everywhere you look, the world seems to be celebrating. It is easy to forget the true meaning of Christmas. It isn’t at all a celebration of pretty lights and colorful gifts, nor is it “just” a Bible story. What is a true Christmas? What is the wonder of Christmas? Have you ever thought about it? It is so easy to get carried along with the cheer and fun all around. It is my hope that this book of stories will help you to think about some of these very important things.
This book follows the varied and eventful life the well-known preacher and author John Bunyan. The story starts with his expulsion from school. Then he took up the life of a tinker, going from house to house fixing broken pots and pans. He later experienced the rough life of a soldier. He was very poor when he got married. He was then turned by God from being the town’s most notorious profane man into one who prayed, and finally a preacher. It was because of his preaching that he was arrested and kept in prison for years. It was there that he wrote his most well-known book: The Pilgrim’s Progress.
