Jessica’s Combo: Package Book and CD
$45.00
A package of the Audio Drama “Jessica’s Journey,” and the book it was based off of, “Jessica’s First Prayer.”
Over 100 years ago, a darkness loomed over Victorian England in which children were used and abused. Influenced by her mentor, Charles Dickens, Hesba Stretton exposed this darkness through her stories. She won widespread fame for Jessica’s First Prayer and was considered one of the most popular writers of the 19th century. This beloved story sold at least a million and a half copies, outselling Alice in Wonderland by “nearly ten times as many.”
Today we bring Hesba Stretton’s story to life as a world-class audio drama, Jessica’s Journey. A web of characters becomes entangled with the knowledge of past sins; a minister, a miser, and an unfit mother experience miraculous redemption through their connection with little Jessica and her answer to prayer.

Favorite Book, But Save the Audio for Later Years Jessica’s [First Prayer] is our favorite Lamplighter book. As one of the few with a sequel, we absolutely loved the challenges presented to our faith in this little gem. However, my girls (6, 10 & 12) had a very difficult time listening to the small scene [in the Jessica’s Journey audio] where the mother is drunkenly abusing her daughter. While the book is perfectly appropriate and inspiring for young children, caution should be exercised when sharing the audio drama with little ears.
