Abigails Dream
$11.17
Fiery tempered and quick to react, Abigail Sherwood bridles under the controlling influence of her brother-in-law. How different he was from her father – a gentle parish minister who loved every member in his little church in England. After his death, Abigail and her mother had sailed to the New World to join her sister and brother-in-law in Chelsea, Massachusetts. Little does she imagine that ten years later she would find herself unmarried, and with no prospects, acting as cook and nanny to her sister’s rapidly growing family.
When a missionary rolls into town, enthusiastically recruiting families to join the flood of adventurers heading out west, Abigail asks herself, Why shouldn’t I set out for Oregon? What could be more exciting than joining a wagon train? With Providence providing a way forward, Abigail finds herself traveling to Serenity Inn, near Independence, Missouri, the half-way point between Massachusetts and Oregon.
Along the way, she encounters challenges that drive her to her knees, seeking God’s wisdom and grace. How often she remembers Serenity’s words of encouragement. “Abigail, always remember that God is leading in your life. He loves you and wants the very best for you.”
Abigail’s Dream is the inspiring story of a young woman who learns how to surrender her impulsive nature to her heavenly Father, while facing the rigors of the Oregon Trail.

John Chrysostom : The Preacher In The Emperor’s Court
$11.99Add to cartThere was something about John Chrysostom and the words he spoke that lit up his world.
He was an important leader of the early church, known so much for his preaching and public speaking that he was given the nickname Golden Mouth. He spoke his mind and followed his convictions. He refused to host the lavish social gatherings that his predecessors had laid on. This meant that John Chrysostom really annoyed the wealthy citizens of Constantinople. He spoke out against how many influential Christians cared little for the poor.“It is madness to fill your cupboards with clothing while other human beings stand naked and trembling with the cold so that they can hardly hold themselves upright.”
It didn’t matter if you were rich or poor John spoke the truth – emphatically. Even the empress fell under his criticism which eventually led to his exile and death.
