"Young People's Christian Library" Book Series

Over time in researching Christian radio, television and film, I do learn about book series and magazines. I now own a few of the digest sized "Young Reader's Christian Library" books which were published by Barbour Publishing in the 1980s to the early 2000s. Packed with illustrations, these books are mix of Bible stories, true stories of great evangelists, and great works of literature,

Four covers from three decades. The "Jesus" cover is at late 1990s edition. The "Pilgrim's Progress" on the top right is an early 2000s version, while the two on the bottom are 1980s versions. 

Titles include:
Samuel Morris
John Wesley, The Horseback Preacher
Jesus
David
The Pilgrim's Progress
Hudson Taylor
Corrie Ten Boom
In His Steps
Ben-Hur by Lew Wallace
D. L. Moody, The Great Evangelist
Abraham Lincoln
Ruth
David Brainerd
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
Billy Sunday

Several of these titles are now available to borrow digitally from the Internet Archive:

They can also be purchased used and new at various book dealer and would make for great gift for young readers for the upcoming Christmas season.
