Jessica’s First Prayer
$16.00
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.

Jessica’s First Prayer I am giving this as a Christmas gift to my great niece Jessica…she is a young adult who needs to know Jesus, and as I read this little book I thought it would be a perfect one to touch her heart. Thank you, Lamplighter crew, for providing such for us to give!!

A Very Touching Story I read this aloud to my 17, 13, & 10 year old. It was such a touching and thought provoking little story. It pulls at your heart strings. Made me be more thankful and I also was brought back to when I first met Jesus. This one is a keeper!
