"All Things New is the ideal book to give to the new Christian. In a series of 28 one-page studies, this little book looks at some basic aspects of the Christian life in a straightforward down to earth manner. The first 14 studies deal with what it means to be a Christian, and the remaining 14 with some crucial areas of Christian discipleship."

The museums of Corinth, Isthmia and Sicyon brought this treasure of a book into existance. Amazing book with history, topography, excavations, ports and more. Full color plates of places and items that tell about this Greek city of biblical and modern significance. Wonderful pull out map of the Agora in Ancient Corinth. Wonderful teaching tool as well as for travel preparation. Highly recommended.

A stunning, evocative and well researched novel set in Ireland and Canada, AWAY traces a family's complex and layered past. The narrative unfolds with shimmering clarity, and takes us from the harsh northern Irish coast in the 1840s to the quarantine stations at Grosse Isle and the barely hospitable land of the Canadian Shield; from the flourishing town of Port Hope to the flooded streets of Montreal; from Ottawa at the time of Confederation to a large-windowed house at the edge of a Great Lake during the present day.
Graceful and moving, AWAY unites the personal and the political as it explores the most private, often darkest corners of our emotions where the things that root us to ourselves endure. Powerful, intricate and lyrical, AWAY is truly an unforgettable novel.

Church banners communicate ideas, suggest feelings, recall stories, state parables, ask questions and express humor. The book contains designs for over 70 banners for the liturgical seasons of the year and for special topics. Included are suggestions for modifying the designs to suit, and using skills and materials available to you. Each design is illustrated with a full page line drawing suitable for photocopying. Indexed by biblical text, by topic and by design and fabrication technique. Useful and inspiring.

From the jacket: In 1536 John Calvin visited the court of Renee of France, Duchess of Ferrara and presented her with the first copy of his Christian Institutes. Thus bagan a relationship of written correspondence, spiritual advice and personal visits between them over three decades. A fascinating look at Calvin, sixteenth-century royalty and the Protestant Reformation, with political intrigue, charges of heresy and assassination.
The work features primary sources to document this captivating saga. An excellent manuscript, historically accurate, well informed and based on written evidence. A valuable picture of Calvin, it views him almost exclusively in his pastoral role rather than as a theoretician. Recommended.

According to many observers, education is in a state of crisis - declining academic standards, literacy crisis, a moral value crisis, and more. What is the role of Christian schools and how do they accomplish their purpose?
In this book, John Bolt develops a philosophy of Christian education based on a narrative approach. The book examines some of the dominant themes in contemporary culture, identifying the consequences of individualism, secularism, pluralism. The study explores several "Christian" threats to Christian educaiton. The author concludes that the Christian school is a community of memory and makes a significant contribution to the understanding of the place and purpose of Christian schools in the contemporary world.
Dr. Bolt is Professor of Systematic Theology at Calvin Theological Seminary and an experienced educator.

From the book jacket: "This is a wonderful book, perceptive, entertaining, useful, refreshingly free of jargon. A superbly written guide, Paul Goldberger, architecture critic for The New York Times, takes readers on a guided walking tour of Manhattan, beginning in the financial district and traveling uptown - stopping to provide historical information and aesthetic evaluations of some four hundred buildings along the way. The lively, knowledgeable commentary and provocative opinions make delightful armchair reading, but it will be hard to resist putting the guide in your pocket and strolling through the city to appreciate its streets, neighborhoods, buildings, parks, bridges and other sights."

J K Rowling's Harry Potter series is uncontested as the greatest children's book phenomenon of all time. The films that followed have served to widen the appeal even further.
Christians have been notoriously divided over Harry. John Houghton looks at 'the Harry Potter effect' both in the wider culture and in the Christian community. His considered critique offers timely and valuable insight for fans and detractors alike, as well as parents, teachers, and all those who work with children.

A fascinating exploration of an enduring mystery: how did a small city, inherently difficult to defend from attack, that lies far from key trade routes and vital bodies of water, and that has never boasted an essential commercial or strategic reason for being, capture the imagination of Judaism, Christianity and Islam for the past 3 millennia? The answers to this enigma unfold with brilliant style and lovely erudition in the pages of a book that reviewers have called a "sweeping and eloquent meditation" and a "masterful biography of a city." Elon has updated the book to reflect conflicts that grip the region today.

Cartoon tales of Luann, a high school girl, her friends and family. Seen in newspapers and magazine, now published in the very first collection. Funny and the situations will resonate with anyone that's been, or has, a teen in the house.

Another great coobook from Nitty Gritty productions. Miller's German Cookbook has over 100 authentic delicious recipes in English, along with German dining and kitchen customs. The book, originally published in Germany, shows all the recipe titles in both English and German so you can become a bit familiar with German terms too. There are also delightful original color illustrations by Mike Nelson. Guten Appetit!
