Through the eyewitness journal entries of a first-century shoemaker whom Jesus has nicknamed "Soft Shoes," we hear the Lord's soothing but challenging voice as he delivers a parable about what it really means to give generously; we marvel as he heals a girl thought to be dead; we feel his anger as he overturns tables in the temple; and we sense the simultaneous confusion and unspeakable joy as Mary and the disciples realize that their crucified teacher has been raised from the dead From Jesus' baptism in the Jordan to the Emmaus road appearance, Soft Shoes serves as our energetic yet reflective guide back to a time when a carpenter from Nazareth revealed himself in word and deed as the Son of God and forever changed the course of history. Prepare to embark on an incredible journey that will lead you to a place where you can once again experience Jesus for the first time, a place where your faith can truly flourish.

Vignettes from the Twilight of Life is a treasury of memories and reminiscences that well up in the dreams of Afrin J. Heath. He is a feisty, seventy-five year old man facing life alone since the passing of his wife several years earlier.

He admits to missteps along his journey and some still make him cringe. But mostly there is laughter, tears, and love of life that makes old age something to be welcomed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic and heartwarming picture book was written and illustrated by the celebrated Vera B. Williams and was named a Caldecott Honor Book by the American Library Association. "A tender knockout. It's rare to find much vitality, spontaneity, and depth of feeling in such a simple, young book."—Kirkus Reviews Vera Williams tells of a young girl who, along with her waitress mother, saves coins in a big jar in hopes that they can someday buy a new chair for their apartment, the kind of chair her mother deserves after being on her feet all day in the Blue Tile Diner. Into the jar also goes the money Grandma saves whenever she gets a bargain at the market. There hasn't been a comfortable place to sit in the apartment since a fire in their previous apartment burned everything to "charcoal and ashes." Friends and neighbors brought furniture to their new apartment downstairs, but no one brought anything big or soft or comfortable. Finally the jar is full, the coins are rolled, and in the book's crowning moment, mother, daughter, and Grandma search four different furniture stores, and after carefully trying several chairs, like Goldilocks, they find the chair they've been dreaming of at last. Vera Williams enhances this story about family, community, and the power of working together toward a common goal with her signature folk art-inspired paintings. A Chair for My Mother has sold more than a million copies and is an ideal choice for reading and sharing at home and in the classroom. "A superbly conceived picture book expressing the joyful spirit of a loving family."—The Horn Book Vera B. Williams's beloved picture book favorites include: "More More More," Said the Baby Amber Was Brave, Essie Was Smart A Chair for Always A Chair for My Mother Cherries and Cherry Pits Music, Music for Everyone Something Special for Me Stringbean's Trip to the Shining Sea Three Days on a River in a Red Canoe

Book excerpt: The culture wars have descended and have disturbed the comfortable and privileged residents of Pernoit County, Virginia. Caught in the midst of this conflict is Donald Ross, the eldest son of Dr. Eric Ross, the Senior Minister at Grace Progressive Church. Donnie has two things on his mind as he enters the summer between his Junior and Senior years at Logan High School, finding a job and improving his baseball swing. He never intends on becoming an avid volunteer to defeat his state’s anti-gay marriage referendum. Yet, after being entrusted with a secret from his favorite teacher and receiving a personal revelation from God, Donnie ventures upon his quest to heed the call of the Prophet Isaiah to “seek justice.” Along the campaign trail, Donnie is constantly asked to step out of his comfort zone by Cameron Hamilton, the Justice Coalition’s senior political strategist. During that summer, Donnie reframes the campaign’s message for his generation and conquers his fear of public speaking. As a senior, Donnie consistently faces down, Lloyd Chambers, his principal and an institutional proponent of reaction and homophobia. Donnie’s active engagement with the marriage equality campaign challenges his childhood friendships and the vestiges of his own personal power. Meanwhile, Donnie begins to forge new relationships with Alden and Aliceanna Dodge and Daniel Shelby, the youngest son of the state’s most ultra-conservative minister, while new priorities begin to emerge. When Donnie is assaulted by his best friend, Jake Kneath, in the restroom during Logan High School’s Homecoming dance, he struggles emotionally. Yet, a new and profoundly stronger resiliency is resurrected giving him the courage to face the daunting challenges to passionately take up his cross and follow Christ and to support his friend’s decision to come out of the closet in order to live a more authentic life.

Caveat emptor.
