Publisher Description

Bring history back to life through Jim Hodges’ historically accurate, exciting, and edifying audio recordings.

R. M. Ballantyne, a devout Christian and outspoken advocate for Christian boyhood, changed the lives of hundreds of thousands with his globe-trekking adventure stories that emphasized Christian character in the face of adversity. In The Coral Island, three Christian boys, shipwrecked in the South Pacific, rely on godly wisdom, biblical insight, and plucky courage to outwit and overcome pirates and cannibals.

Take a theological journey through a sampling of some of the world’s best sermons, stories, and tales with the Overtly Christian Line.

    " *Read for school*Interesting, but not the best book I've ever read. There was just something too proper about the way the kids talked and how everything worked out. "

    " I imagine this was far more racist than I, a middle class white kid in a small village in the north, realised when I read and liked it as a naive child. So the three stars are for the version it I have in my head sans racism. Which would be a pretty short book, I think. "
