The Extra Mile and Other Stories

Father and Grandfather were cutting up a big tree for firewood. Eight-year-old Galen and his younger sister Mabel helped Grandfather by loading his cart with the smaller pieces of wood. Then they unloaded and stacked it. It was a big job and took a long time. After the first cartload was stacked, Father told Galen and Mabel that they could play. But many pieces of wood still lay on the ground around the big tree, and Father and Grandfather still had much work to do. Let’s go the second mile for Grandfather, Galen suggested. The Extra Mile contains thirty-five interesting stories for primary-aged children. Each story teaches important truths about the way God wants His people to live.
