The books in the new “Whatsoever Things” series have been specially selected and edited to ensure wholesome reading content. Our primary motivation in producing them is to have quality literature for our children and future grandchildren to enjoy. Not just “cut and paste” reprints, these have been carefully read through and altered wherever necessary (in the writing style of the original author) to remove the dross* and allow the solid heart of the story to shine through. Occasional editorial notes at the end of some chapters also point the reader to appropriate Scriptures for properly understanding certain passages in light of a Biblical worldview. It is our desire to add to this series over time, Lord willing, until it becomes a true library builder for the Christian family.
* Dross may include anything from God’s name being used in vain, to sinful behavior being glorified, to allowing worldly philosophies to stand uncontested, etc.
