    The chief aim of these books is to furnish material that interests and engages the reader, at all skill levels. For beginning readers, the teacher paves the way by oral reading, followed by the pupil retelling the story to the teacher. In this way, the pupil acquires reading vocabulary by (1) by the illustration, (2) by the impetus of the story, or the context, (3) by the position of the words in the sentences, and (4) by repetition. A variety of subjects, authors, and types of literature are presented to that end, with a corresponding increase in new vocabulary and thematic complexity as the pupil advances.

Entangled with sin herself, Elizabeth Smythe attempts to stamp out wickedness in her adopted niece, Sarah. A steady drinker, Sheriff Knudson eagerly exploits his position. To repay Pastor Greg, who once helped free a girl from a demon, Satan sends his powerful servant Jax Jacobs, who is led by an unseen voice to commit unspeakable evil. In Flirting with Hellfire: The Chronicles of Tobias, Paul Whitfield describes the profound horror unleashed on Hollybrook. But what Jax and his companions did not count on was the intervention of an angel. Forgetting the God they claim to worship, no one calls for divine help until Sarah, an orphaned teenager, remembers the words her father prayed over her. Archangel Tobias joyfully protected God's people until his disobedience interrupted his service. When God approaches him with a new task, Tobias gladly speeds to intervene. And so begins the battle for Hollybrook, a town Flirting with Hellfire. As Tobias seeks to thwart the evildoers, will God hear Sarah's cry? Or will the wickedness of the town condemn it to judgment?
