Synopsis

In 'Tom Brown's School Days,' Thomas Hughes offers a richly detailed narrative centered around the life of a young boy, Tom Brown, as he navigates the challenges and triumphs of life at Rugby School in the 1830s. Written in a naturalistic style, the novel immerses readers in the vibrant world of early Victorian England, characterized by its emphasis on morality, camaraderie, and the formative experience of education. Hughes' work is not only a coming-of-age story but also a critique of the educational system, portraying the moral and physical trials of school life through vivid characterizations and poignant episodes that resonate with universal themes of friendship, resilience, and ethical growth. Thomas Hughes, an esteemed English lawyer and social reformer, is often regarded as a seminal figure in the development of the public school system. His own experiences at Rugby School heavily influenced his portrayal of school life, illustrating the interplay between personal experiences and broader societal values. Hughes was a contemporary of reformist movements, seeking to blend moral education with physical development, insights that profoundly shaped his writing and advocacy. I highly recommend 'Tom Brown's School Days' for readers seeking a compelling exploration of youth and education amidst the backdrop of Victorian ideals. This work is essential for understanding the evolution of educational philosophies and reflects timeless lessons in character development, making it a relevant and enriching read for all ages.

Here you’ll find fresh versions of the iconic stories of Adam and Eve; Lot’s daughters; Jacob’s ladder; David and Goliath; Rebecca at the well; the twin brothers Jacob and Esau; and more, in a style that engages both the senses and the imagination.

The biblical teaching that Jesus was the Suffering Servant who carried the sins of His people when He went to the cross is vividly brought home to children in The Donkey Who Carried a King, the latest children’s book from respected theologian, author, and educator Dr. R.C. Sproul.Davey was a young donkey who was bored and unhappy because he was never given anything to do. Then one day, some strangers came to the gate―and Davey’s master picked him for a very special task. Davey carried the King, Jesus, into Jerusalem. A few days later, Davey saw some angry people making the King carry a heavy beam of wood. Davey could not understand it―until another donkey helped him see that the King was being a Servant on behalf of His people.The Donkey Who Carried a King offers a unique perspective on the events of Jesus’ Passion Week and calls all believers, both young and old, to follow in the footsteps of the Suffering Servant for the glory of God. Jesus was willing to leave the glories of heaven to suffer and die in this world on our behalf, so we should serve Him with all our hearts.
