Children's Tabernacle; Or, Hand Work and Heart Work

Children's Tabernacle; Or, Hand Work and Heart Work, written by Charlotte Maria Tucker (A. L. O. E.) in the 19th century, follows five children and their mother as they construct a model of the tabernacle. Through this hands-on project, they explore the significance of Old Testament types, such as the showbread symbolizing Christ and the Holy of Holies representing God's presence. The narrative also addresses themes of forgiveness when twelve-year-old Dora faces a personal challenge. This work combines religious education with practical craft, making it a unique blend of storytelling and moral instruction.
