This little treasure of a book, Breaking
Through and Other Stories for the Young,
is a creative collection of stories and poems
that teaches us about the power of God’s
salvation and how He can take the dead
and the wretched and give them new life!

Amy Le Feuvre teaches the wonders of salvation
in her endearing story, “Breaking
Through,” by using a simple analogy of dead
bulbs coming alive again and turning into
beautiful blossoms. Our souls are hidden in
the deadness of the sin of this cold world,
but Christ raises us up as tender shoots
that discover the warmth of the springtime
sun. Hesba Stretton crafts the tale of “How
Apple-tree Court Was Won” to demonstrate
God’s powerful love for us, that He would
not spare His own son even for the worst of
sinners. Finally, S. W. Partridge paints a
beautiful picture of a Christian’s character
with his words in the poems from “Voices
from the Garden,” as he looks to the
blossoms around him as reminders of the
promises found in scripture.
