Song Of The Trail
$8.67
Each spring Old Doroteo drove one of Jess Cameron’s six flocks of sheep across the desert to the high summer pastures where the grazing was lush and water plentiful. But he had to cross broad desert plains and treacherous gorges that were hot and dry and abounding with jumping cholla, stinging gnats, and mountain lions.Jess Cameron’s son, David recuperating from pneumonia, received his parents’ permission to accompany Old Doroteo to the high pastures for the season. “I believe I would be the best thing in the world for the boy,” his father had said.With a little burro named Buhito and a tag-along pet crow named Timbird, David thought the life of a shepherd would be a great adventure. But he didn’t suspect that his seven months on the sheep trail would include getting lost in the desert for two days and losing a dear friend.The story, by Mabel Earp Cason, tells how the sadness and laughter and frustration of the sheep trail taught David to be responsible for his obligations and always to put his trust in “the Good Shepherd.”

Time To Bloom
$20.99Add to cartThe Nielsen sisters have accomplished much in the past year, traveling west and settling in Nebraska. They are on their way to rebuilding their mother’s garden, and their excitement only grows when they receive a letter from their brother Anders saying he’s coming to visit with a friend from the war. However, none of that can mask their concern that they are quickly running out of money. Del’s work teaching in town offers hope, not only to support her sisters but also to better her students’ lives. Not all see it that way, though, with the town lagging on rebuilding the schoolhouse and her brightest student’s father demanding he work the farm instead of learn. An invasion of grasshoppers only makes things worse.When Anders arrives with his war-wounded friend RJ, he sees the strength of the sisters’ idea to start a boardinghouse with the train coming to town. He invests in it and suggests RJ build it. Del finds RJ barely polite and wants nothing to do with him. But despite Del and her sisters’ best-laid plans, the future–and RJ–might surprise them all.

Samuel Rutherford : The Law, The Prince And The Scribe
$11.99Add to cartWhen Samuel Rutherford picked up his pen he changed lives, maybe even across continents. What he wrote influenced the American constitution but where his real power and passion was felt was in the letters that his warm pastor’s heart wrote to the people of his parish.
His book Lex Rex was burned on a pyre but his notes of comfort and wisdom were cherished by those he cared to guide and counsel.
Accused of treason he died of illness before there was time to make him a martyr and on his gravestone today, just west of the Bell Tower in St. Andrews Cathedral are engraved the striking words that sum up his life, “Acquainted with Emmanuel’s Love’.
