Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The Endless Path tells the story of the extraordinary journey of two soulmates who overcame almost insurmountable odds to find each other and to stay together as long as they possibly could. It is the story of Gunny and Laurie. Gunny was a chocolate Labrador retriever and Laurie is a person, but those are just the forms that our souls took this time around. You've never read a memoir quite like this one because Gunny was not only a dog, but also the co-author. He was able to write his part with the help of his gifted animal communicator, Alexandra, who could hear him quite clearly. The book traces their life together from when Gunny and Laurie met, until his death at almost fifteen years old, and beyond. The Endless Path follows Gunny's struggle to survive rare and near fatal illnesses with fierce determination, as well as their amazing adventures living all around the world. It is knowing the edge of death that deepened Gunny's commitment to life --and his reflections on life, love, relationships, and what it all means are astonishing. Gunny tells us the story of his life, and incredibly, about the soul pact that he and Laurie made long ago. While there is adventure, laughter, and tears along The Endless Path, in the end, it is about love and all the amazing things that it can accomplish.…

Courageous and innovative and mesmerizing, Frankenstein for a new age." -- Helen Phillips, The Beautiful Bureaucrat "A statement about the nature of evil and its inevitability, even necessity, that reveals the tragic essence of [Blauner's] vision and her adroitness with metaphor." -- Jerome Gold, The Moral Life of Soldiers "If Solace was like its protagonist--built from others' body parts--it might draw its parts from Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, and, naturally, Frankenstein. In the end, Solace is its own weird and wonderful creation, the story of the fifth version of a daughter who, despite being haunted by lives she never led . . . simply wants to be herself." -- Mark Brazaitis, The Incurables Created by a grieving father, Mara F. is haunted by previous Maras.

A glossary is provided at the end and The Lord's Supper, Let's Get Ready is parent and teacher friendly. Written by Laurie Donahue and Paul Phillipps, The Lord's Supper-communion preparation ties the old testament passover to Christ's rescue of us. Just as the Israelites were rescued from slavery in Egypt, we have been rescued from slavery of sin. There are many correlations between these two events in the Bible. Christ gave the disciples the Lord's Supper in the upper room while celebrating the Passover meal. There is a key workbook page comparing Passover and Christ's sacrifice, which gives Scripture for the student to find the comparisons of the two. John MacArthur says, This is a great effort that I recommend highly for churches that desire to expose their children to solid teaching on the Lord's table. This book could be utilized in Children's Church and Sunday School, by parents and, in every area, make a significant impact for this critical matter of confession of sin and worship of our crucified, risen Lord. (John MacArthur).…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. God shows us daily that He is moving in us and around us. Most often we miss it because of a few misconceptions. The first is that we tend to look for something profound and miss the simple; or we are sure we're just not spiritual enough to see Him; or we can't imagine that He really is interested in the fine details of our lives. After all, He is the God of the universe. When actually the truth is that He reveals Himself in things as simple as a reflection from the sunrise. It is my prayer that in this 31 day devotional you will find amazing truths and clear evidence that God has great love, grace and mercy for you and those you love. As you begin to look for Him in simple day-to-day things, you will start to see Him in ways you never thought possible. The journey begins today.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Children experience all sorts of grief and loss -- a death in the family, a divorce, an unexpected move, the loss of a pet. They need ways to acknowledge these losses and they need to be able to express their grief in physical ways. Some children need the activities we consider traditional: they conduct ceremonies or write letters to the people they have lost. Other children, overflowing with the anger that is a natural part of grief, need to pound, punch, run and jump. Still others want to express their grief through art. Written by Laurie Kanyers, M.A., whose research and clinical experience has focused on how children cope when they must deal with change, loss and death, 25 Things to Do. explains the grieving process. It provides dozens of activities that help bereaved children. Kanyer explains the value of each activity so that parents and caregivers can select appropriate projects based on the child's age, kind of loss and stage in the grieving process. She also discusses how learning about grief prepares children for new relationships and to accept losses later in life. Williams, Jenny (illustratore).…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Portrait of the Walrus by a Young Artist is a zany story of sexual identity, repression, obsession, and the concept of art as both a destructive and redeeming force. Morton Fisk has recently died of dehydration in the family's bathtub. A famous sculptor of Men With Chainsaws, he did all his work sealed away in the basement of their Connecticut home wearing only his torn briefs. On the eve of his daughter Frances's eighteenth birthday, his widow marries the Kingpin, an owner of three bowling alleys. Her mother tries to lure Frances to the life of the middle class - far away from the art world and the dementia that claimed her husband. Soon Frances's life is filled with bowling balls, pins, polyurethaned floors, and pizza. Depressed, Frances visits an aquarium. Witnessing two walruses in the heat of mating, Frances is transformed - she has found her muse! The walruses start to occupy her every thought. She sees them everywhere, including her bedroom. Running in fear, Frances and her friend Bessie take to the open road, with the libidinous beasts close behind. Will Frances and Bessie survive? Can art be controlled? Will the highways be destroyed from the weight of the walruses? Foos, a brilliant young satirist, has the ability to make the bizarre sound matter-of-fact.…
