Karl Jansen's Find

by Mary Emily Ropes

On his way to Four-Corner Isle to explore its cave, Karl Jansen finds himself in a terrible predicament! And there's not much time. How will he escape the grip of death? And what about his precious find? The power of hatred, jealousy, and greed knows no bounds in a spiteful, malicious heart. Can it be possible that there is mercy-pardon for such a wicked one? Indeed, greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world!

This book was great! It is definitely meant for younger readers, but the message of forgiveness within its pages is good for any age!

I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a sweet story that’s not to daunting a read.
