As soon as you enter this story you will meet a condescending father; a quiet, supportive wife; two rambunctious brothers; and a bright-eyed orphan girl.

It’s no secret that Mr. Graham married his beautiful young wife for her money, but sweet Alice Graham buries her deep hurt within and pours out all her love upon her two boys. Although Bert and Alfie are as close as two brothers can be, they couldn’t be more opposite! Alfie is a charmer, while Bert is reserved. Alfie enjoys recognition while Bert prefers solitude, working with his hands.

One day, a revival sweeps through town, planting seeds into many hearts. Yet not every seed takes root. Holding fast to his convictions, regardless of the consequences, one brother learns what it means to, “count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord” (Philippians 3:8) while the other is unable to stand against the taunts of his unbelieving father.

This powerful little story merges together difficult themes such as abuse, changing family dynamics, and persecution of faith. Yet in the face of such opposition arises manly integrity, biblical submission, honesty, and Christ-like forgiveness.

The year it was published is 1885

The date and month are unknown as they were not recorded in any surviving historical archives.

Haha! You are so right! I completely misread your previous comment and provided the wrong information. I apologize for the confusion here.

According to the info inside the book, this edition was published in February 2024.
