WORTH THE PRICE FOR THE FRONT BOARD ALONE. First published in 1895 as indicated by the front cover of the book, this version has a publication date of 1898 as indicated on title page. Authored by S.B. Shaw who is also the publisher. Boards with moderate to heavy wear but clear with the front board decoration and back board advertisement clear and legible. 128 clean and solidly bound pages, no interior marks. A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF LATE 1800 RELIGIOUS INSPIRATIONAL STORIES FOR CHILDREN.
Here is a brief description from a modern day reprint of this antique book:
"This 19th century book contains a collection of stories about how God has answered prayer in people’s lives. For the sympathetic reader, the stories can comfort, inspire, and warm the heart. In times of trial, this book reminds Christians that God never forgets to care for the abandoned, the old, the sick, the young, and the persecuted. At the same time, though, Shaw’s accounts show that God may answer prayers in ways people do not expect, as in one account in which God rescues a little boy from domestic abuse by sweeping him up into Heaven prematurely. Shaw’s title does indeed capture the ethos of his book: touching and remarkable."
