Take a peek at life in a large, loving Mennonite family where everyone works together, faith is practiced daily, and fun happens often. When the harvest starts in Lancaster County, it signals time for school to begin. Children help gather the fruits and vegetables from the gardens and prepare the one-room schoolhouse for the first day of school, and Elva loves it all! One day Elva and her classmates plan a secret "food roll" to bless Teacher. They try their best to hide their giggles but erupt with laughter as Teacher shows her surprise. Then when her fifth-grade arithmetic lessons get Elva down, her brother suggests the perfect way to forget about her troubles—for a while anyway. And when the beautiful harvest moon is at its fullest, Elva steps quietly through the rustling corn fields to listen for...for what? What is it that makes Elva love autumn so much?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 1894 brings hard times to the Yoders. When Father reads that free land is available in faraway North Dakota, the family packs up, says goodbye to family and friends, and boards the train for what they believe will be a better life out West. As soon as they step from the train onto the windswept prairie, however, they realize they have much to learn about homesteading. They hurry to build their thatched-roof, sod house even as they plant a garden and till the fields. With each new experience—including the wildfire and long cold winter—they learn to trust God, embrace the pioneer spirit, and watch hardship turn into valuable life lessons. Based on actual events from a time long ago, this unforgettable story from The Amish Frontier Series, perfect for ages 8 to 12, brings to life the Yoder family's move from a close-knit community to a pioneer life where they quickly discover how God is faithful to help in every situation.

Download or read book God s Calling written by Paul H. Brown and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2024-08-14 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abrahamu thought of all the children at Rethy Academy as his children. He would give each of the boys some fatherly advice when they left after tenth grade: “Utakwenda America. Utakwenda Université. Utakamata Bebe Yako. Utarudi Hapa Rethy” “Go to America, go to university, take a wife and come back to Rethy.” He didn’t give any specifics. The instructions were part of his saying goodbye as was his request for shoes. Beginning with navigating relationships in America as a third culture kid, Paul Brown’s life blossoms into serving God as a missionary in Africa. There, his journey is filled with endeavors such as leading the installation of a hydroelectric plant and establishing an FM radio station. All while raising a family of six kids with his wife Ellen Brown in a remote area of the world amid rising tribal tensions. In Paul’s life, the willingness of God to use the weak appears again and again. The product is a testament to what God is able to do with a life surrendered wholly to him.

Download or read book Educating for Peace in a Time of Permanent War written by Paul R. Carr and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the meaning of peace, why should we study it, and how should we achieve it? Although there are an increasing number of manuscripts, curricula and initiatives that grapple with some strand of peace education, there is, nonetheless, a dearth of critical, cross-disciplinary, international projects/books that examine peace education in conjunction with war and conflict. Within this volume, the authors contend that war/military conflict/violence are not a nebulous, far-away, mysterious venture; rather, they argue that we are all, collectively, involved in perpetrating and perpetuating militarization/conflict/violence inside and outside of our own social circles. Therefore, education about and against war can be as liberating as it is necessary. If war equates killing, can our schools avoid engaging in the examination of what war is all about? If education is not about peace, then is it about war? Can a society have education that willfully avoids considering peace as its central objective? Can a democracy exist if pivotal notions of war and peace are not understood, practiced, advocated and ensconced in public debate? These questions, according to Carr and Porfilio and the contributors they have assembled, merit a critical and extensive reflection. This book seeks to provide a range of epistemological, policy, pedagogical, curriculum and institutional analyses aimed at facilitating meaningful engagement toward a more robust and critical examination of the role that schools play (and can play) in framing war, militarization and armed conflict and, significantly, the connection to peace.
