Has someone crossed your path recently who might have needed your help? Were you paying attention closely enough to have noticed? This wonderful book from Harold Bell Wright is just as relevant in this century as it was to those to whom he was writing over 100 years ago. That tramp printer who ends up working for George Udell has much to teach us about living by an honor code. According to President Ronald Reagan, "That Printer of Udell's had an impact I shall always remember... The term 'role model' was not a familiar term in that time and place. But I realize I found a role model in that traveling printer whom Harold Bell Wright had brought to life. He set me on a course I've tried to follow even unto this day. I shall always be grateful."

That Printer of Udell's.

I'm not sure that there has been a time in the history of this country when this message is more needed, as we deal with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, racial challenges, political unrest and an overall lack of integrity and values in many of our leaders. This wonderful book calls each of us a return of common (yet so uncommon) biblical Christian values. While this points to the inadequacies of "the church", that message can be applied to all institutions that fail to lift, to succor and to assist the downtrodden who desire to work and to improve their lot but, for one reason or another, are
Loved It!

Thoroughly enjoyed the story. It hits on an issue that’s been on my heart for the last few years: the church is more content to be a social club than to actually do the work of Christ. A very good story with plenty of plot twists and a clear lesson to teach. Probably best for ages 13+ as there are descriptions of various vices, though nothing explicit.
Practical Christianity Needed Today!

This book was the most convicting, challenging Lamplighter book I've read yet. There are many quotes out of it's pages that I like to pass along. It was such a good story. I can see how Ronald Reagan was impacted by it. I know I was. I will certainly pass this along to my children and grandchildren (if the Lord tarries that long) and lend it to any friend wanting to read it. It's amazing how relevant it is today, well over 100 years after its first publication. It comes highly recommended by me!
Fantastic Read

This was an amazing read. I did not expect the twists and turns that drew me into it's pages. I thought several times I had figured out the story and it surprised me. This is a book worth your time, with great lessons for us all.
A Wonderful Book

I love this book and the values it teaches. As the book of James in the Bible instructs not to show favoritism towards the wealthy as God has chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith.
