In a rich brown, debossed Italian leather, Stranger at Home, with its
accompanying stories “The Coveted Bonnet” and “The Cords of Sin,” might
seem a little hard-edged, but it aptly challenges us to reconsider our
God-given roles as parents and children. The folly of permissive
parenting and its consequences of obstinance, disobedience, lying, and
vanity is brought forth with not-so-subtle clarity and is filled with
life-giving truths.
The Stranger at Home is a story
about a little girl who lived with her grandmother. After a number of
years, she returns home to her family, but finds she is a stranger to
them. Her brother and sisters have had the benefit of godly parents, who
have educated and trained them well, while she has been indulged by her
doting grandparents. This is a story of her struggle to come to terms
with her family, her sin, and her God. Written in 1830, it is a little gem with glimpses into godly family life and home education.
