Cunning Workmen (Grace Livingston Hill Vol 20)

by Isabella Macdonald Alden

Mr. Hammond and Miss Parkhurst each taught a Sabbath School class at their church but their reasons and methods were quite different. Mr. Hammond lived his faith, while Miss Parkhurst, an active society lady engaged to a successful businessman, had always attended Sabbath School and knew no life without it. Her preparation to teach was sorely lacking, a fact noticed by her class. An invitation to the weekly teachers' meeting and a desperate call for help from one of Miss Parkhurst's students set in motion a chain of events that would have far reaching effects on a number of people. This is a great story, encouraging one to think about why one serves God, and to evaluate one's own relationship with Him.
