Who would not love a set of these beautiful books? The Ballantyne Christian Adventure library is available through Vision Forum for purchase. BUT Crystal and Biblical Womanhood is giving a set away this Saturday.
Now, I'm not telling you all to jet over there and enter, because then how would I win?? Just kidding. Go right now and enter to win these beautiful, truth filled books.
With a quote like this in his book, you know I have to have them on my bookshelves. I love the language and the vocabulary. I also love the fact that he wants our little boys to grow into MEN.
Boys [should be] inured from childhood to trifling risks and slight dangers of every possible description, such as tumbling into ponds and off of trees, etc., in order to strengthen their nervous system.... They ought to practice leaping off heights into deep water. They ought never to hesitate to cross a stream over a narrow unsafe plank for fear of a ducking. They ought never to decline to climb up a tree, to pull fruit merely because there is a possibility of their falling off and breaking their necks. I firmly believe that boys were intended to encounter all kinds of risks, in order to prepare them to meet and grapple with risks and dangers incident to man’s career with cool, cautious self-possession.... —R.M. Ballantyne, The Gorilla Hunters
Be Blessed.
