Listen to Worthy of His Name, a children’s story by Eglanton Thorne. Gus is a poor boy with a sick father who once lived with honor and pride. Before dying, his father gives Gus one request: to grow up to be a gentleman. But Gus doesn’t know what that means.

Is it found in wealth? In seeking revenge, as his father once urged? Or is the truest gentleman the Lord Jesus, whose example we should follow?

In Worthy of His Name, Gus embarks on a journey to live up to his own name. Through trials and unexpected turns, he faces the ultimate test—will he follow Christ’s example or turn away?

And you may ask, What does the cover depict? Ah, you must read to discover its meaning. As the story unfolds, you will arrive at this very scene—and what a moment it is.

Recommendation:

Worthy of His Name: It carries a unique depth that caught my attention in a special way. It tells the story of Gus, a poor boy with a sick father who once lived with honor and pride—at least as the world sees it. Before he dies, the father gives one final request: that Gus grow up to be a true gentleman and get revenge on the one who brought him to such poverty. But Gus doesn’t know what it means to be a gentleman. He comes to see that what he truly needs is Christ, and to become like Him. And Gus does get revenge—but not in the way most would expect. He chooses the kind of “revenge” a Christian seeks: by loving his enemies. – James
