Side by Side Author:Isabella Alden Side by Side has to be one of the best books Mrs. Alden wrote! It is the story of two young girls, one a very wealthy girl, and the other, a very poor girl. One has grown up in Sunday school and church, and one has just begun to come to church. These girls sit side by side in Sunday School. This is a story of contrasts, rich and poor, educated a... more »nd uneducated, and more importantly, a professing girl, and one who has truly come to know the Savior. This gem of a story paints a black and white picture for children and adults of the difference between saying you are a Christian and actually being a Christian. Excellent! Every child should read this one.« less
