The Basket of Flowers: Holiness and Truth Triumphant (Children's Audiobook)

Revised in 2024 to enhance readability and comprehension. The following story, originally read in French, immediately struck me as one that, with some modifications to convey clear and strong evangelical truths, would make an excellent addition to Sunday School libraries and appeal to young readers of all kinds. The story is deeply moving, and the lessons it teaches are both valuable and important. I've rarely encountered lessons of practical piety presented as simply as they are in this little book, all drawn from the beauties of nature. Almost every chapter contains sermons directed at young hearts, using flowers from the garden as their texts. The translation of the story is quite free, with significant omissions in many places and considerable additions in others. G.T.
