Mary Jones and
Her Bible

An Adventure
Book

Chris
Wright

The true story
of Mary Jones's and her Bible

with a clear
Christian message and optional puzzles

(Some are
easy, some tricky, and some amusing)

Mary Jones
saved for six years to buy a Bible of her own. In 1800, when she
was 15, she thought she had saved enough, so she walked barefoot
for 26 miles (more than 40km) over a mountain pass and through deep
valleys in Wales to get one. That's when she discovered there were
none for sale!

You can travel
with Mary Jones today in this book by following clues, or just
reading the story. Either way, you will get to Bala where Mary
went, and if you're really quick you may be able to discover a
Bible just like Mary's in the market!

The true story
of Mary Jones has captured the imagination for more than 200 years.
For this book, Chris Wright has looked into the old records and
discovered even more of the story, which is now in this
unforgettable account of Mary Jones and her Bible. Solving puzzles
is part of the fun, but the whole story is in here to read and
enjoy whether you try the puzzles or not. Just turn the page, and
the adventure continues. It's time to get on the trail of Mary
Jones!

Pilgrim's
Progress

An Adventure
Book

Chris
Wright

Travel with
young Christian as he sets out on a difficult and perilous journey
to find the King. Solve the puzzles and riddles along the way, and
help Christian reach the Celestial City. Then travel with his
friend Christiana. She has four young brothers who can sometimes be
a bit of a problem.

Be warned, you
will meet giants and lions -- and even dragons! There are people
who don't want Christian and Christiana to reach the city of the
King and his Son. But not everyone is an enemy. There are plenty of
friendly people. It's just a matter of finding them.

Are you prepared to help? Are you sure? The journey can be
very dangerous! As with our book
Mary
Jones and Her Bible
, you can enjoy the
story even if you don't want to try the puzzles.

Pilgrim's
Progress

Special
Edition

Chris
Wright

This book for all ages is a great choice for young readers,
as well as for families, Sunday school teachers, and anyone who
wants to read John Bunyan's
Pilgrim's
Progress
in a clear form.

All the old
favourites are here: Christian, Christiana, the Wicket Gate,
Interpreter, Hill Difficulty with the lions, the four sisters at
the House Beautiful, Vanity Fair, Giant Despair, Faithful and
Talkative -- and, of course, Greatheart. The list is almost
endless.

The first part
of the story is told by Christian himself, as he leaves the City of
Destruction to reach the Celestial City, and becomes trapped in the
Slough of Despond near the Wicket Gate. On his journey he will
encounter lions, giants, and a creature called the Destroyer.

Christiana
follows along later, and tells her own story in the second part.
Not only does Christiana have to cope with her four young brothers,
she worries about whether her clothes are good enough for meeting
the King. Will she find the dangers in Vanity Fair that Christian
found? Will she be caught by Giant Despair and imprisoned in
Doubting Castle? What about the dragon with seven heads?

It's a
dangerous journey, but Christian and Christiana both know that the
King's Son is with them, helping them through the most difficult
parts until they reach the Land of Beulah, and see the Celestial
City on the other side of the Dark River. This is a story you will
remember for ever, and it's about a journey you can make for
yourself.

Zephan and the
Vision

Chris
Wright

An exciting
story about the adventures of two angels who seem to know almost
nothing -- until they have a vision!

Two ordinary
angels are caring for the distant Planet Eltor, and they are about
to get a big shock -- they are due to take a trip to Planet Earth!
This is Zephan's story of the vision he is given before being
allowed to travel with Talora, his companion angel, to help two
young people fight against the enemy.

Arriving on
Earth, they discover that everyone lives in a small castle. Some
castles are strong and built in good positions, while others appear
weak and open to attack. But it seems that the best-looking castles
are not always the most secure.

Meet Castle
Nadia and Castle Max, the two castles that Zephan and Talora have
to defend. And meet the nasty creatures who have built shelters for
themselves around the back of these castles. And worst of all, meet
the shadow angels who live in a cave on Shadow Hill. This is a
story about the forces of good and the forces of evil. Who will win
the battle for Castle Nadia?

The events in this story are based very loosely on John
Bunyan's allegory
The Holy
War
.

Agathos, The
Rocky Island,

And Other
Stories

Chris
Wright

Once upon a
time there were two favourite books for Sunday reading:
Parables
from Nature
and
Agathos and The Rocky Island
.

These books
contained short stories, usually with a hidden meaning. In this
illustrated book is a selection of the very best of these stories,
carefully retold to preserve the feel of the originals, coupled
with ease of reading and understanding for today’s readers.

Discover the
king who sent his servants to trade in a foreign city. The
butterfly who thought her eggs would hatch into baby butterflies,
and the two boys who decided to explore the forbidden land beyond
the castle boundary. The spider that kept being blown in the wind,
the soldier who had to fight a dragon, the four children who had to
find their way through a dark and dangerous forest. These are just
six of the nine stories in this collection. Oh, and there’s also
one about a rocky island!

This is a book
for a young person to read alone, a family or parent to read aloud,
Sunday school teachers to read to the class, and even for grownups
who want to dip into the fascinating stories of the past all by
themselves. Can you discover the hidden meanings? You don’t have to
wait until Sunday before starting!
