Harvey Newcomb

For years the publisher has been searching for a companion volume to THOUGHTS FOR YOUNG MEN by J.C. Ryle. This is it Harvey Newcomb (1803-1863) wrote 178 volumes, mostly for children and young adults. This volume, YOUNG LADY'S GUIDE, was by far his most popular book, and is subtitled To The Harmonious Development of Christian Character. In the words of the author, "The 'Young Lady's Guide' was intended for a class of females, who have attained some degree of maturity of character, and who are supposed already to have entered upon a religious life." This would be a wonderful gift for graduation from High School or College. While some of the language is dated, having been written over 150 years ago, it nevertheless speaks directly to the heart and mind of young ladies who desire to serve Jesus Christ in the 21st century.

Young Lady's Guide by Harvey Newcomb (1803-1863) was first published in 1839, and went through numerous editions, being the most popular of the 178 books written by the author. It is subtitled "A Guide to the Harmonious Development of Christian Character in Young Ladies." This volume is filled with godly wisdom and sound counsel that will assist young ladies in seeking to become true women of God.

The ethical principles and practices outlined by the author of this volume constitute indispensable advice for boys who desire to become godly men for the glory of God. This book should be in every home, and in the library of every young man.
