Prince Lawrence and the Test of Little Things

Prince Lawrence watches his older brother Justin train with real swords and ride out with the royal hunting party — and wants nothing more than to do the same. So when King Roland leaves the castle for a long journey and puts a trust in each brother’s hands, Lawrence is crushed. Justin gets pages to train, horses to inspect, and the autumn hunt to prepare. Lawrence gets a small pouch of wheat seed and a little patch of ground.

“Justin gets swords, horses, and hunting hounds,” Lawrence grumbles. “All I get is a little patch of ground.”

But the king’s answer stays with him long after the trumpets have faded: “The size of the trust is not what gives it value. What you do with it, gives it value.”

What happens next is a story about the small, hidden test that shapes every young heart — whether we can be faithful with what we’ve been given, even when it feels too small to matter. Inspired by Jesus’ words in Luke 16:10, Prince Lawrence and the Test of Little Things is book four in The Adventures of Prince Lawrence — a faith-filled read-aloud for ages 4–10, with vibrant full-color illustrations on every page.

Perfect for bedtime stories and family devotions, Sunday school lessons and Christian classrooms, and parents and grandparents looking for wholesome stories with real moral weight.
