Tolstoy communicates the teachings of Jesus through brilliantly crafted Russian characters and imaginative stories. The title story, "Walk in the Light While There Is Light," takes place at the time of the early Christians and follows the lives of ordinary men who convert from paganism to Christianity.

"The Long Exile" tells of a man falsely accused of murder and sentenced to twenty-six years of labor in Siberia. There he learns about truth and forgiveness. "Little Girls Wiser Than Their Elders" charmingly illustrates Jesus' teaching that we must become like little children to enter the kingdom of God.

Beautiful translations of these stories maintain their original Russian folktale flavor while spotlighting Tolstory's fervent and thoughtful faith. This lovely volume makes a timeless gift for readers of all ages.
