Jed Cartwright and the Dangerous Journey

About the Book:

Life in 1860 is not easy for Jed and his little sister, Mandy. Orphaned and homeless, the two children face numerous obstacles even before setting out on their own from Illinois to St. Louis, Missouri. Sustained only by sheer grit, determination and their love for one another, they set out to find their uncle whom they hope will give them a home. They travel mile after mile, meeting both kindly people and harmful ones, escaping peril and injury again and again.

Travel along with Jed and Mandy through heartbreak, danger and God's provision. Experience with them the fact that in spite of true hardship and genuine challenges, God forgives and welcomes into His Home anyone who will come.

Ed Dunlop is a children's evangelist whose numerous books are popular with young people and adults alike.

Inside the Book:

The Christian Lady - 

We live in an age where the term "lady" has lost its way. The American Dictionary of the English Language by Noah Webster describes a lady as, "A woman of distinction...any woman of genteel education." The Concise American Heritage Dictionary  of 1980 describes a lady as, "A woman of refinement and good manners." A lady, then, is more than just a woman; she is a refined, genteel woman of distinction and good manners. Therefore, just any woman could not rightly be called a lady based solely on the fact that she is a female. In order for a woman to be properly called a lady she must meet the qualifications of the term as defined by the dictionary, an established authority of language definition.

No then, the same is true of the term "Christian lady." A religious person can no more deserve to be called a Christian without first meeting the qualifications established by the authority on spiritual matters, the Bible, than a woman can be called a lady without meeting the qualifications established by the authority of language definition, the dictionary. With this in mind, it behooves us to become familiar with what the Bible defines a Christian to be. you see, one may read The Christian Lady's Handbook of Etiquette and Manners and find helpful tips on how to be a lady without ever truly being a Christian lady. It is one thing to be a lady, another to be a Christian and still another to be a Christian lady.

Mall Marked Jesus Down

A few years back a nine-inch model of Jesus as a baby appeared in many stores. The doll was "packaged in a straw and satin crib with a picture of the Bethlehem manger and appropriate biblical texts."

But the doll was not a success—people probably felt that to merchandise such a thing was carrying the commercialism of Christmas to a new low—and at least one store, in an effort to unload its supply of the dolls, cut the price rather drastically.

One woman who was comparing prices in various stores excitedly reported to a neighbor, "The mall has marked Jesus Christ down fifty percent."

Strangely enough, this is quite similar to what is happening today. This sounds all too familiar: moral corruption in high places; legalized abortion; prayer taken out of schools and replaced with drugs and guns; displaying manger scenes in public places forbidden; the word blood taken from many hymnals—"too gory"; new Bible versions omitting "virgin" from the Old Testament and "begotten" and "Propitiation" from the New; worldly music in the pulpit on Sunday; preachers who have gone soft; churches catering to the culture—anything to play down Christ, the Bible and the old-time Faith.

Yes, Christ has been marked down drastically—even more than fifty-percent!

So it behooves us who believe in the old-time religion to proclaim it this Christmas with clarity and conviction!
