What books did I get to review? Soldier Fritz and Mary Jane – Her Visit
Who is Fritz? Young Fritz wants to follow in the footsteps of Martin Luther and be a soldier for the Lord, so he chooses a Bible from the peddler’s pack as his birthday gift. Fritz and his mother, Countess, both take a powerful stand against organized religion, facing persecution, that is not teaching Biblical truths.
The Countess is such a model for sound biblical encouragement to her son, Fritz. She is dependant on the Lord, encouraging to her family with God’s Word, and sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading. Her Godly counsel is very powerful – it will MOVE YOUR SPIRIT and spur you on to take a stand for truth in your own life.
Read the first chapter free on their website here.
Take an adventure with Fritz and the Countess for only $10.95.
My thoughts on Mary Jane – Her Visit? My girls asked to hear Mary Jane every night. I printed the whole e-book and had it bound at the local printer. Mary Jane is definitely a wonderful addition to our homeschool.
Who is Mary Jane? In this story, the second book in the Mary Jane series, five-year-old Mary Jane has more happy wholesome adventures, this time at her great-grandparents' farm in the country where she hunts for eggs, picks berries, finds baby rabbits, goes to the circus and more!
Go on an adventure with Mary Jane for only $12.95!

Here are some of the qualities the publishers appreciate about Emma Leslie’s writings:
- History of the Church told in an interesting and memorable way
One of the real strengths of Emma Leslie’s writings is that she shows the key issues in the Church in each time period in the context of an interesting story. The reader thus gains a broader understanding of the history of the Church in a way that is memorable. For example, in Soldier Fritz, the Reformation in Germany comes alive in the story of a young boy who chooses a Bible from the peddler's pack as his birthday gift, leading to unexpected persecution and danger. - Inspirational
In each book, there are those who come to salvation in Jesus Christ, and those who are faithful to Him in very difficult circumstances, both of which inspire the reader to greater faithfulness. - Appeal to both girls and boys
There are both male and female main characters in her books, often a brother and sister, sometimes a husband and wife, or a parent and child.

I had two Emma Leslie books to review, and I absolutely LOVED them! My plan is to purchase the whole series. I enjoyed reading your great review.
