Damaged Lamplighter, The
$20.00
Poor little Gertie is out in the snow with a high fever and no one to care for her until the old lamplighter comes by to light the street lamps. See how God fills the life of this dejected and neglected little girl with hope as she becomes a virtuous young woman. The Lamplighter is particularly a great book for young adults who are shaping their standards in relationships prior to marriage. This book has left such an impression on my life that I decided to name our ministry Lamplighter Publishing!

Sweetest book ever! This is one of my first lamplighter books and I loved it so much! The story is a little sad but the happy ending is worth it all. It takes a little while to get interesting and some younger readers may be a little bored in the first half, but it definitely picks up near the middle and I promise you will not regret reading it. I highly recommend all of lamplighter’s books! They are all so encouraging, exciting, suspenseful, and amazing! Thank you so much, lamplighter!
