A Christian's Treasury of Trees & Plants

Having been persuaded to drop her proposed marriage to a naval officer without means eight years ago, Anne Elliot at the start of the novel Persuasion is now 27 years old and still unmarried. The naval officer, Frederick Wentworth, has now returned a wealthy man having made his fortune at sea. But although he intends to now find a bride, he has not forgiven Anne for rejecting him.

Set partly in the fashionable city of Bath, Persuasion is one of Jane Austen’s most biting and personal satires of Regency society.

Persuasion was Jane Austen’s last completed novel, finished in August 1816. She died at the age of 41 in 1817.

When life throws us curve balls, prayer is often our greatest consolation. In A Cup of Comfort Book of Prayer, ordinary people just like you share the prayers that have brought them closest to God. From Psalm 23 and the Sermon on the Mount to the inspiring words of Anne Bradstreet and St. Francis of Assisi, these are the prayers that people turn to when they most need God's help, people such as:

• Paula, who finds confidence in the Breton's Fisherman Prayer when she feels overwhelmed by her role as single mom
• Susan, whose chance encounter in a customer service line allows her to share the grace of An Old Irish Blessing with a heartbroken stranger
• Clement, who during Operation Desert Storm shared the hope of John Cosin's Lord, Be Thou a Light to My Eyes with a war-torn Kuwaiti family

In this blessed little volume, bestselling authors James Stuart Bell and Susan B. Townsend have collected fifty heartwarming stories of the power of prayer in our lives-a power upon which you can draw to strengthen your resolve, lift your spirits, and sustain your faith, through good times and bad.
