| For students ages eight to fourteen, the MY AMERICAN JOURNEY series presents a true history of the United States with a cleverly helpful dose of fiction. Each of these first four books (in a projected series of ten) recounts highlights from the life of a true American founder or social pioneer. But to engage a student's interest from page one, a fictional narratorusually a school-age person who somehow knew the main herotells the story with youthful vigor. Adding to Deborah Hedstrom-Page's unique lessons are plentiful illustrations from Sergio Martinez (Max Lucado's You Are Special). Each book also contains study questions for every chapter and other educational helps. Harriet Tubman (1822-1913) was an African-American abolitionist. Born into slavery herself, she helped hundreds of slaves escape to the North via the Underground Railroad during the Civil War. |

| Christians have viewed the Bible in various ways: as a map to follow, an instruction manual for life, a moral code to live by. It's been called a firm foundation, a sword, a rock. But what if the Bible is more like an octopus than a rock? What if it's wild, unpredictable, and unmanageable? In From Stone to Living Word, author and pastor Debbie Blue shows how Christians have treated the Bible as a firm foundation--and thus an idol--rather than a "living response to a living being."In the opening chapters of the book, Blue shows how Christians read and preach in ways that lean toward idolatry. Then she sets out to dismantle this tendency by interpreting important biblical themes such as creation, incarnation, atonement, and resurrection in a new way. Her reflections transform the familiar into something strange, new, thrilling, and alive. In a world where idols are used to divide and oppress, Blue's recognition of the tendency to idolize the Bible frees Christians from preconceived notions, allowing them instead to discover new possibilities.Blue's fresh and sharp insights will appeal to everyone from those who find the Bible irrelevant or suspect to those who are looking for a way to make their faith alive. Her winsome, honest, and often amusing writing captivates and inspires. |

| You can infuse significance into the second half of your life without abandoning your first-half career. "Halftime"-as first defined in Bob Buford's bestselling book by the same name-is a pause in the middle of the game of life to reflect on who we are and what will matter in the end. It's a chance to redirect our time, talent, and treasure from simple success toward deep significance. Author Lloyd Reeb made the Halftime transition in 1993 while still owning his business. His story shows that through creativity and careful planning it's possible to carve out significant portions of time, energy, and talent to make an impact in the world for Christ. From Success To Significance provides vision and examples for pursuing significance. It encourages readers to look back on the lessons and accomplishments of the first half of life, reflect on what will really matter in the long run, and then redirect their lives for the second half. |
