Weed With an Ill Name

Do you believe what the Lord Jesus said is true even of your children: 'out of what fills the heart, the mouth speaks'? In the same way in which weeds can grow and take over an otherwise fruitful field, so sin can grow in the hearts of children, alongside other good traits, and yet be ignored or unnoticed by both them and their parents. One of our most life-changing titles of all, 'The Weed With an Ill Name' shows children the danger of self-righteousness. How easily children raised in a Christian home can presumptuously judge others to be worse than themselves, and thus ignore their own faults!This volume is one of eleven titles in the 'Children's Character-Building Collection', our popular reprints of 19th-century Christian books for young children.
