Ben-Hur: A Story of the Christ
Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ chronicles the journey of Judah Ben-Hur and the life of Jesus, from Ben-Hur's quest for vengeance against the Romans and his search for his imprisoned family to the birth of Jesus in the manger and the Crucifixion. Cleverly connecting two storylines to create both an exciting tale of adventure - with shipwrecks, chariot races, and duels - and a compelling story of love and spiritual growth, Ben-Hur has continued to engage readers and entertain audiences for more than a century. Once the best-selling and most widely read American novel, and the first work of fiction to be blessed by a Pope, Ben-Hur's popularity and esteem have given rise to numerous stage and film adaptations since the novel's first publication in 1880. This replica of the beautifully illustrated "Player's Edition" features nearly fifty images of scenes and characters from the play that will surely delight any reader of this classic piece of historical fiction. LEWIS "LEW" WALLACE (1827-1905) was born in Brookville, Indiana. He worked as an attorney, was elected to the State Senate of Indiana, and served as a Union general in the American Civil War before writing his most famous book, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. His other works include The Boyhood of Christ, Life of Gen. Ben Harrison, and The Prince of India; or, Why Constantinople Fell, as well as an autobiography and several other titles. Wallace also served as governor of the New Mexico Territory.
Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ
Unabridged, 8.5" x 11" edition (21.59 x 27.94 cm) with small type (9-point) and three column format on cream paper. In 1876, former Union general Law Wallace (1827-1905) sets out to a meeting of Civil War veterans. In the train to Indianapolis, he talks with Ingersoll, a fellow veteran and an atheist. After this talk, Wallace's own ignorance of religion strikes him as problematic. He resolves to study the whole matter: A number of practical suggestions assailed me: How should I conduct the study? Delve into theology? I shuddered. The theology of the professors had always seemed to me an indefinitely deep pit filled with the bones of unprofitable speculations... Next the subject was considered dry. Was there no way of making it the least bit light and savory? No incidental employment or task which could give it a color of pastime, and, while compelling thorough investigation, keep me interested? Then it came! Ben-Hur was first published in 1880. Contemporary literary critics found its romanticism pass?, but readers resonated with its mix of romanticism, spirituality, and action. The story is set in the Holy Land between the reigns of Augustus (27 BC-14 AD) and Nero (54-68 AD). It depicts the adventures of Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish nobleman falsely accused of an attempted assassination. Trying to find his way between revenge and material success, Judah realizes that serving a spiritual king could be a third option. It is perfectly true that Ben-Hur appealed chiefly to the unsophisticated an unliterary. People who had read much else of worth rarely read Ben-Hur.- The New York Times, 1905
Christ Legends
When I was five years old I had such a great sorrow! I hardly know if I have had a greater since. It was then my grandmother died. Up to that time, she used to sit every day on the corner sofa in her room, and tell stories. I remember that grandmother told story after story from morning till night, and that we children sat beside her, quite still, and listened. It was a glorious life! No other children had such happy times as we did. It isn't much that I recollect about my grandmother. I remember that she had very beautiful snow-white hair, and stooped when she walked, and that she always sat and knitted a stocking.

In His Steps: What Would Jesus Do?
In His Steps is the dramatic story of a pastor and a small group of Christians who determined in their hearts to react in every situation as they thought Jesus would. Set against the hypocrisy and social upheavals of the 1890s, it provides delightful color and style, and depicts the same sordid plight of churches and Christians today. Founded?upon God's Word, its focus is the verse in 1 Peter: "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps." Because of a sudden and upsetting incident which disrupted the Sunday morning worship service of a small congregation, the world has been set aglow for Christ. Souls have been challenged to find the perfect will of God for their lives, to follow the steps of the Saviour wherever they should lead and despite persecution or crucifixion that might follow--just to know the joy of walking In His Steps.
