Golden Threads: Selected Stories - Paperback

by Helen C. Knight (Author)

Golden Threads was a book of short moral stories written by Mrs. Helen C. Knight and others, published c. 1866. The 63 selections gleaned for this edition are selected for their Christian content. Most all are moral parables that teach Biblical principals and are intended for families with older children. A passage called "Good As Other Folks" outlines a minister's suggestion to a boy to journal his day to discover if he is "good enough for God" as his self assurance says he is. A passage called "Sea-side" tells of how a mother tells her children about God while collecting shells on the beach. A passage called "Gold-apple Words" gives examples of words apply spoken and their huge effect on people's lives.
