Without the cross

In writing this book, San Diego author Elizabeth Beachley sought to show the power of the Cross of Christ by depicting a world where there was no cross. In her time (1920's), the worlds was awash with, as Miss Beachley put it, "new cults, 'ologies and religions which have their root and branch in a Cross-less teaching." She hoped that her little fantasy would be of help to mothers and children discover the value of the Cross and all it stands for. The prose and dialogue are dated, but not outrangeously so, probably do to Miss Beachley's stated to tell her story in "plain text."
