THE TWILA STORIES HIDDEN RICHES
Johnny Ruhl
Romaine Stauffer
Many of us do not know the names of our ancestors who braved the Atlantic to come to North America. We forget the persecution they faced and how they risked their lives to reach the freedom we enjoy. Hidden Riches puts a face on history through young Christian Burkholder, a real person, who lived through tragedy and triumph because his father decided to seek a better life in a new land. For juniors through adults.

Not so long ago but far, far away there was a godly young woman named Twila who loved the Lord. She lived in a country called Bolivia near the village of Santa Rosa del Sara. Twila lived by herself in a small house next to one of the elders. She had cows and chickens and a horse named Good-Boy. Well crafted and delightfully told, The Twila Stories speak straight to the heart whether read silently or aloud to others.

Many parents see the importance of family worship, but struggle to find material suitable for their whole family. Fruitful Families addresses that need. The book’s overall theme of growing spiritual fruit is broken into ninety-one lessons—enough for a quarter of a year. Each day’s lesson consists of two parts. The first part is especially for Dad and Mom and older children while the second part consists of a reading from a continued children’s story.
