Posted in Rosa of Linden Castle by Christoph von Schmid

 Because we have had such a hard time choosing what book to read next from all the great Lamplighters, we asked one of our readers to help us. Eyebright gave us 3 titles she liked and since one of them was one we had picked out last time, we decided on that.
 So our next read is:  Rosa of Linden Castle


 In this unique von Schmid classic, a daughter''s love for her imprisoned father ensures us that though it was meant for evil, God always intends it for good. Through difficult trials, Rosa learns what it means to truly love her enemies and to wait for the Lord's perfect timing.

Author: Christoph von Schmid
Written in: 1845
Pages: 163

Yay! I can't wait to get started. I think part of the reason I like to read these books, is because of the way they look! They are so nostaligic looking.

Anyway,
Have a very bright, very cheerful day!

I've only just discovered this club, and I'm really pleased to find you!

I love the painting at the top of the page, by the way - La Leseuse (sp?) by Fragonard. I grew up with a print of that painting in our living room, and now I have a print of my own. I'm just building up a library to put it in!
