Publisher's Description

This volume contains the incredible story of the conversion and death bed of a young boy, who died nearly three months prior to his 8th birthday. Nathan Dickerman (1822-1830) was not raised in a godly home, but one day a Sabbath School Teacher invited him to come to his class. This was the beginning of Nathan's dramatic conversion. Dying of consumption, Nathan demonstrated such unusual depths of humility and love for Christ that there was a steady stream of pastors and Sabbath School Teachers who would sit by his bed and minister to him. More often than not they would leave the greater blessed. Gorham Abbott, brother of John and Jacob, was assigned the privileged task of keeping a journal of the last months of Nathan's life. This he did with great tenderness and care. This is a book for every parent, pastor, teacher and child. It sets forth a heart-warming example of how Jesus Christ tenderly cares for his little lambs. It will be a strong rebuke to those who question whether or not children can experience genuine conversion.
