In 1794 a group of Russian orthodox missionaries landed on Kodiak Island, Alaska, with the intent of preaching to native Americans, baptizing those who would accept the Christian life and developing for them both academic and agricultural schools. Of these missionaries, Father Herman lived among the Aleut people for over 40 years, and earned the nickname Apa or Grandfather. He was often involved with local authorities concerning the rights of local natives, who were constantly violated by explorers and foreign authorities. In this volume, author Dorrie Papademetriou captures the essence of the monk and the world of Apa and the Aleut people comes alive in illustrations of northern lights, Kodiak bears, giant cabbages and angel's wings.

In his latest historical novel, bestselling author Robert Morgan brings to full and vivid life the story of Jonah Williams, who, in 1850, on his eighteenth birthday, flees the South Carolina plantation on which he was born a slave. He takes with him only a few stolen coins, a knife, and the clothes on his back--no shoes, no map, no clear idea of where to head, except north, following a star that he prays will be his guide. Hiding during the day and running through the night, Jonah must elude the men sent to capture him and the bounty hunters out to claim the reward on his head. There is one person, however, who, once on his trail, never lets him fully out of sight: Angel, herself a slave, yet with a remarkably free spirit. In Jonah, she sees her own way to freedom, and so sets out to follow him. Bristling with breathtaking adventure, Chasing the North Star is deftly grounded in historical fact yet always gripping and poignant as the story follows Jonah and Angel through the close calls and narrow escapes of a fearsome world. It is a celebration of the power of the human spirit to persevere in the face of great adversity. And it is Robert Morgan at his considerable best.

As the ambulance sped out of the school parking lot, rumors at Bethany High School were going rampart. The third-hour class bell had just rung and kids were streaming out of their classes. The ambulance's flashing lights and siren could be seen and heard as it transported Doug to Bethany Memorial Hospital. "I heard it was Doug Thomas. I think he is stoned," one student remarked. "We heard he was DEAD!" two sophomores said in agreement. "This won't be the first time Doug has been stoned, but it could be his last time!" a third student chimed into the conversation. Students stood stunned at the event taking place in their school. Students had been aware that Doug and some of his friends had bragged about doing drugs from time to time, but this was bringing a reality to the student body. ********* Lesam and Lejoy, invisible to the surrounding individuals, sat on the top of the lockers in Bethany High. These Ministering Angels sadly heard all the conversations about Doug. They watch solemnly as the students filed into their fourth-hour classes. "Lesam, this is happening more and more often! I feel so helpless for these unsuspecting teens. They have no idea that they are in the middle of a 'Spiritual Battle' between good and evil." Lejoy wiped a tear from her eye. "If only our commands would come down from the Lord." "You know, as Ministering Angels, we are not allowed to intervene until we are directed by God," Lesam lamented. "We have our new Charges, Lesam. We must focus on God's commands for the Stevenson family, now," Lejoy stated. They both sat silently, as the halls began once again to become void of students. The fourth-hour tardy bell rang.
