Author Description

Little Faith adored John Robinson, her beloved adopted father. He had taken care of her since her mother had died. But when Providence allowed hardship to enter Faiths life, she responded by running away away from the comfort, love, and protection of her devoted adopted father, and away from the dreaded Mrs. Gubbins who had no patience for children. As she ran, she poured out her troubles to her Great Friend, Jesus. But now He did not seem to answer her pleas for help! Resting one evening in a church, she awoke to hear the minister say, "Little Faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?" And so she begins to learn the meaning of her own name, waiting patiently for Him to answer in His time, according to His way. Every one of us struggles to comprehend the depth of the meaning of faith. This compelling short story by the author of Christie's Old Organ will show you and your children how true faith in the Lord Jesus carries the believer through the most grievous of hardships. Little Faith had such an impact on our family (and my own little girl named Faith), that we chose to publish this gem and to go the extra mile by reproducing it consistent with the beauty and quality of the nineteenth century original. In so doing, we hope to provide you with an important heirloom book that can be enjoyed by every member of your family and passed on for generations. - Publisher.
