* I would like to thank Berkeley and H.O. for bringing to my attention some of the information I found for this thread.
Ruth Reider, now Ruth Harvey, is a reknowned Holiness writer. She has written various books on the power/value of dress standards and God's Holiness, that can be found at her website -
http://positivepowerofholiness.com
In her kids section, she has introduced a series of books entitled
Kingdom Kids in which her site says boys and girls will learn about God's Holiness.
Having not read the books and, only making some basic assumptions about there content, I have provided information from her site and some questions I have formulated based on the synopsis and pictures of each book.
Each story, interestingly, features one or two girls, called Angel and/or Miriam as protagonists.
{Why aren't boys featured as main characters also? Is God's Holiness primarily a female problem?}
5 out of the 6 books seemingly deal with outer standards. Only one, the last one, deals with moral purity.
{Doesn't Holiness start inward? Does it appear the Mrs. Harvey is focusing primarily on the outward?}
Here are the books in the series.
