What does it mean to yearn for the Holy Scriptures? In Mary Jones and Her Bible, Mary Jones has a passion for the Word of God and does whatever she can to get her very own Bible. In a day-and-age where we can access scripture anywhere (thanks to technology) it is hard for anyone, let alone young minds, to understand the longing for a Bible. Not only will this story grow a deeper appreciation for the Word of God, it will introduce a different way of life focused on living for the Lord. Because of one tenacious girl, the heart of a local pastor was moved to start a movement that brought about the access to the Holy Scriptures for years to come. What a great way to instill a love and a sacred understanding of the Bible into the hearts and minds of children. Enjoy a free Discussion Guide from the publisher as you read. Chapters are short and the discussion is rich. 88 pgs., hardcover. ~Rebecca

Description
Publisher's Description of Mary Jones and Her Bible by Mary Ropes (Generations Timeless Classics)
Mary Jones' family could not afford their own Bible. For years, Mary
walked two miles to the home of a nearby farmer to read his family
Bible. Mary diligently read the words of the divine book, storing them
up in her heart. All the while, she prayed that the Lord would provide
her with a Bible of her own. After six long years of saving her pennies,
Mary Jones set out at last to buy her long-desired possession: a Bible.
Walking barefoot for twenty-six miles, she crossed the Welsh
countryside to the home of Thomas Charles, a local pastor. Mary offered
her hoard of pennies and asked Pastor Charles for a Bible. Astounded by
young Mary's love for God's Holy Word, Thomas was inspired to found the
Religious Tract Society, an organization that would provide Bibles for
countless men and women yearning for the truths of Holy Scripture. Based
on a true story, this classic tale is sure to captivate young minds and
teach children the great blessing it is to possess the written Word of
God.
