Synopsis

It was a rainy day in Manchester when little Phil went to the courthouse to try to free his wrongfully accused brother. But the judge told Tom about Jesus and gave him money to start a business. Tom prospered but then trouble developed in several ways. Tom struggled with a Christian religion that was stern obedience, with no grace from Christ. The concept of a loving heavenly father was difficult when all he knew was his natural father. A key Bible verse is Revelation 21:7: “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My son.”

About this title

About the Author:

SARAH SMITH (1832–1911) was born in Wellington, England. She had the good fortune of being able to read books from her father’s bookshop, a printer of evangelical literature. Her mother was a strong evangelical, but died when Sarah was young. When she began writing, Hesba Stretton was her pen name, Stretton coming from the name of a neighboring village, and Hesba coming from the initials of her siblings. She wrote "Jessica’s First Prayer" in 1867, which became one of her most beloved stories. It sold very well and was translated into many languages. Other best sellers were "Little Meg’s Children" and "Alone in London." She was familiar with the troubles of street children whom she visited and helped. She wrote over 60 books and stories.
