This anthology contains five short stories previously published in READING for Christian Schools Grade 5 (Bob Jones University Press 1986), updated for a new generation of readers, with plenty of new illustrations. Black and White interior and a full-cover cover. “Lessons From Mr. Lee” – With the guidance of the senior black belts at this martial arts school, a bullied boy learns that courage comes from a disciplined and humble mind. “The Tal-Omega” – The fate of the officers and medical team of a ship in space comes down to one boy’s courage and resourcefulness. “Corps-a-Corps” – A young girl works to perfect her skills in fencing and stands up to the bully of the fencing club in the championship match. “An Incident of War” – A war orphan is helped by American soldiers and their mobile hospital unit. “A Man’s Man” – A son’s close relationship with his father in the back woods of West Virginia is threatened by a mysterious illness. And new to this anthology, “The Wide Open Door” – A brother and sister come to understand the need for courage, knowledge, and wisdom when their father is taken away for a crime he did not commit.
