Tip Lewis and His Lamp

Isabella Alden

Tip Lewis and his roguish pals had no idea of learning anything when they sat in  the corner at the mission school, boisterously pulling each other's hair and laughing. They had no interest in God. They cared only for adventure and mischief. In fact, they had come to the school only because it was too hot for fishing. Then somehting the shy, quiet Miss Perry said caught at Tip's imagination. Soon he found himself wondering what it would be like if he were the best boy in town instead of the worst. Like an eager traveler on a strange, new journey, Tip began drinking in Miss Perry's words and the Scriptures she shared. But could someone as bad as he ever attain the lofty goals and ideas she taught? Or would his position and circumstances conspire to keep him forever a scamp, separated from those whose lives he was beginning to admire?                                -Tip Lewis and His Lamp

This book shows what grace God has for such naughty children and sinners like Tip. It demonstrates the bad characters one has and how to turn them into good. I love this book. It did me good reading it!
