Review by: Elijah T. in Austin, TX
I really liked this book because the main character Joseph had no parents but he still did the right thing most of the time. His sister Jean was a responsible girl who went to college and studied hard in school. I think it was helpful for Joseph to have such a good example in his big sister. For me it’s hard to always do the right thing. If no one is around, I feel more tempted to do something I ought not to. I like that Joseph did the right thing even when no one was around. It is a good encouragement to me and I know I will think on Joseph when I feel tempted.

Review by: Luke in Guyton, GA
I read the book A Dozen of Them, written by Isabella Alden in 1888, and published by Keepers of the Faith in 2001.
I was truly blessed by reading A Dozen of Them. Joseph’s example of listening to his older sister, Jean, by memorizing a Scripture verse each month, reminded me how important it is to listen to wise counsel. It amazed me how often the verse he had memorized kept him out of trouble! I desire to remember, just like Joseph, that Jesus is always watching me. Also, I was encouraged by Jean’s trust in God that He would take care of her brother and protect him from evil.

Review by: Mercy in Nauvoo, IL
I read A Dozen of Them. This is about a young boy named Joseph. Joseph and his sister are orphans. He is staying with a family, and his sister, who is working in the city, gave him a dozen Bible verses in a little book. He picks one a month to learn and use. He does this for a year. I’d say that the first and last story in the book are probably my favorites. The book has helped me learn that using Bible verse’s for a week or a month is good and I have been doing it for a month or two and it has helped me a lot. Have a great day.

I received your catalog and learned so much about applying the Bible to every day life just by reading your catalog! Your explanation of how you choose books brought conviction to me about how I have chosen my entertainments in the past and I am praying to make changes based on your biblical example and arguments. I have ordered as many as I can afford right now and plan to just check off each one until I own everything that you sell. Thank you for all of the care that you put into your selections and for being trustworthy.
