Posted in Enoch Roden's Training by Hesba Stretton
As with all the Lamplighter Books we have read, Enoch Roden's Training has endearing characters.Characters:
Susan Roden: Enoch’s MotherMother Roden: Enoch’s Grandmother
Titus: Enoch’s older brother
Enoch: Main character, young man, fourteen years of age, steady and solid-like.
Mr. Drury: rich older gentleman who is fond of the Roden family and does for them as he can.
Esther: Mr. Drury’s oldest daughter. She takes on a great more responsibility than she should.
Lucy: Mr. Drury’s sweet, helpful youngest daughter
As Enoch's faith is tested, will he prove that his is no mere profession, but a real, living confidence in God's love and wisdom? Through severe trials, Enoch learns much about sound business principles, sacrifice, and trusting God. If he had only said, "I am working with God…" he would never have found the work wearisome, for of all grand, and comforting, and heart-refreshing thoughts in this world, to a Christian, the greatest is the thought that we are co-workers with God. Without a doubt, after reading this book, you'll walk away a better person than when you began.
blessings to you on your homeschool journey,
