A Peep Behind the Scenes

When children run past the little caravan with it's brightly painted doors they sigh with envy. They would love to live in a caravan and spend all their time at the fairground. But they don't know what it's like behind the scenes. Rosalie who lives in the caravan knows that her life is not pretty or exciting. Life is very hard for Rosalie with a sick mother and a selfish father, she has to work late as part of the acting company.

Once day Rosalie and her mother meet a stranger who tells them there is more to life and gives them a picture of a shepherd holding a lamb. He tells them of the great love of Jesus who longs to look after Rosalie just as a shepherd looks after his lambs.

Find out what the future holds for Rosalie. Will she trust in God? Will she find a real home? Find out for yourself as O. F. Walton gives you A Peep Behind the Scenes. 

Behind many smiling faces there are hurting hearts, and behind things that are attractive and alluring, there is usually a high price to pay. A favorite of Ruth Hunt's, this is an excellent book to teach discernment and reinforce the biblical truth that there is no real, no true, no lasting joy in anything of this world. But to the believer, there is the certainty that in the Lord Jesus Christ there is safety and the only way to true happiness. You will understand why 2.5 million copies were printed in 1850!
