The Hedge of Thorns is part of the Fireside
Collection.
Based on a true story, here is a gripping account of a young boy who learns the hard way that the choices we make can harm those we love the most. Because he desperately wants to know what is on the other side of a “hedge of thorns,” he puts his little sister in great danger. From his experience, we learn that God places boundaries in our lives because He loves us.
“…in reading The Hedge of Thorns with my son this morning, I feel much strengthened. ‘Of how much more value am
I than this little sparrow? And not one of these falls to the ground outside the very presence of God Himself.’
What reassurance this is for me and all who call upon the name of our Lord and Savior. Also from the book, ‘Even
if the path becomes difficult, my child, and even if God chooses for you the path of suffering, the riches of
Chris are a far greater reward both in this life and the life to come.’ My many thanks again…I am one of the many
I’m sure that are blessed time and time again by the examples of God’s grace, mercy, love and examples through
these books.” - Keressa
