Hi Everyone,

I received a GREAT surprise in my email box this morning.  The Old Schoolhouse and Salem Ridge Press held a contest offering one of their new books by Emma Leslie, and I was one of the lucky winners!!

I requested the book:

Out of the Mouth of the Lion: Or, The Church in the Catacombs

Story Setting:  Asia Minor in 163 - 166 A.D.
Originally published in 1875; 265 pages; For Ages 12 – Adult

When Flaminius, a high Roman official, takes his wife, Flavia, to the Colosseum to see Christians thrown to the lions, he has no idea the effect it will have. Flavia cannot forget the faith of the martyrs, and finally, to protect her from complete disgrace or even danger, Flaminius requests a transfer to a more remote government post. As he and his family travel to the seven cities of Asia Minor mentioned in Revelation, he sees the various responses of the churches to persecution. His attitude toward the despised Christians begins to change, but does he dare forsake the gods of Rome and embrace the Lord Jesus Christ?

I will be using this book to create a notebooking project (for those of you who may be interested) for our Bible studies.  I will post to the blog letting everyone know when the pages are done and can be downloaded.  Here is a link to Salem Press and the wonderful books they have to offer.
