A very giftable book of Bible words and prayers to nurture the spiritual life of a young child

I am Wisdom, I am better than jewels; nothing you want can compare with me. I walk the way of righteousness; I follow the paths of justice, giving wealth to those who love me, filling their houses with treasures. I love those who love me; whoever looks for me can find me. From Proverbs 8 In times of confusion, stagnancy, or pain, words of wisdom can serve as a beacon, directing you through darkness and toward light. The various writings in A Treasury of Wisdom have been selected for just this purpose. Whether the words of Jesus, Shakespeare, or Francis of Assisi, the wisdom within this treasury will challenge your thinking and help to direct your steps, whenever you may need it. You may open its pages with a particular theme in mind, diligently searching for words of advice. Other times, you may flip through the pages more idly, allowing your attention to pause or wander as it will. However you choose to use the collection, you will surely find glimpses of hope, clarity, and truth hidden within-- treasures that are greater than gold.

This Bible tale is adapted from Jesus'' parable of the Pearl of Great Price, which can be found in Matthew, chapter 13, verses 45-46--T.p. verso.

Long ago in the busy little town of Assisi, a wealthy merchant and his wife had a baby boy: Francis. They gave their son all the good things that money could buy. But when Francis was a young man, he had a dream telling him to work for God - to follow the example of Jesus in loving those who were unloved and giving everything he had to serve others. Francis'' life touched the hearts of many in his own lifetime. Even the wild birds and animals seemed to listen to what he had to say about God their Maker. For hundreds of years, the story of this good man of Assisi has brought hope and encouragement to all those who long to know gentleness and love in the world.
