‘Joseph Armstrong's father showed little concern for his wife and children. Work came first. Praise was a foreign language. All the while, he portrayed himself as flawlessly pious to those outside the family, making his home a potential hotbed for bitterness. But a devout mother bridged the gap-loving, teaching, and praying for her children. Her prayers were heard; Joseph's heavenly Father helped him rise above his circumstances to a life of purpose.’ Good condition, does have clear signs of normal wear that does not affect the readability of the book. Please see pictures for full description. Thank you for looking! A4
