One of the great commands of Scripture to children is “Do not forsake the teaching of your mother.” A godly mother is one of the greatest gifts any child can have. More than anyone else, she is the great imparter of knowledge to her children.
In this collection of stories, written for her daughter Rachel (then 6 years old), Edna Gerstner, wife of the late Dr. John H. Gerstner, teaches Rachel the ways and wisdom of God. Herein is explained love, marriage, death, the Ten Commandments, election, the will of man, and many other theological concepts at a level for young children which they can and will understand.
Mrs. Gerstner, the author of Jonathan and Sarah, Song by the River, and Idelette, shows her wisdom and patience in raising up her children in the way they should go. This book is for children to read for themselves, but parents as well can learn from this godly woman.
248 pages.
