The godson -- The Devil's persistent, but God is resistant -- The two old men. Leo Tolstoy, best known for his novels, Anna Karenina and War and Peace, also wrote short stories that illuminate Christianity and the gospel. These stories, as well as his religious essays, are gaining the attention of a new generation of Tolstoy readers. The Godson is the third compilation in this series of his writings that deal with Christian themes. Three charming stories-"The Godson," "The Devil\u2019s Persistent, but God Is Resistant," and "The Two Old Men"-demonstrate atonement, obedience, God\u2019s power, and a Christian\u2019s spiritual journey. Tolstoy\u2019s classic stories will entertain and inspire readers of all ages. The translation maintains the original Russian folktale flavor. The stories express the author\u2019s thoughtful faith in the gospel. And like the two compilations before this one, a beautiful format makes The Godson a wonderful gift. 20071115.
