    "[Glaucia] pours forth a beautiful story of two devoted siblings, and brings to life the early Christian church and its followers.

    "Salem Ridge Press has solved a big problem for me in a unique way! I have always hesitated to teach my children ancient Greek/Roman mythology and philosophy due to their pagan roots. However, Greek & Roman mythology still has undeniable impact on modern society in the areas of language, industry, arts and culture. Enter Salem Ridge Press and their Emma Leslie Church History Series- particularly the first book in the series [Glaucia]. This book paints a clear picture of a culture where every event, large or small, is tied to the worship of a god or goddess, yet it also incorporates the introduction of the one true God."  –  Susan F., Abiding in the Tree of Life blog

    "I had a hard time putting down "Glaucia the Greek Slave" as it was history which I never heard in the high school and college courses I took."  –  Kimberly K., leader for church homeschool group

    "I am so glad that I received [Glaucia] to review as it has renewed my faith in Christ reading of how the Early Christians suffered for the sake of Christ. It makes everything of this world seem of such little value compared to all that Christ has to offer."  –  Lady Rachel, 15-year-old columnist at Growing in Grace Magazine Online

    "Glaucia the Greek Slave was originally published in 1874, but it brings the message of God's redemption through Jesus Christ that is just as relevant now as it was then!"  –  Michelle L., mom to 2 in North Carolina

    "I enjoyed this book so much that I started it on a Thursday and then stayed up until 2am Friday night to finish it."  –  Cindy, Fenced in Family blog
