DOWNLOAD EBOOKI know what I have to do. My mother explained it all. I know now what a sperm donor is, and my so-called Earth-father is one. Or was one. He abandoned my mother as soon as he could have the chance. He climbed a tall, tall tree and disappeared. My mother believes he’s still alive. He has to be found if his soul is still existing. He must be destroyed. My mother believes he’s one of Death Heart’s pawns. Whoever this Death Heart is anyway. I heard he is the most evil of evils. And he’s supposed to be back with vengeance. I am here with vengeance. But now . . . now we lay my mother to rest. It’s my duty to take over the Creator’s kingdom and start a whole new storybook. I’m supposed to marry that loser, Eric. But I have other plans. And Bianca’s gullible. She thinks I like her. Her man, Sigor, is smoking hot. What kind of man in this world doesn’t like silvery blonde hair? Ha. Yara is an airy faerie-ditz, and LaChandra is trapped. I somehow think I can pull Aleuzia onto my side, though. Yes, my side. I have so much power splurging in my veins it takes all my energy to keep it from escaping my fingertips. I close my eyes and sleep.

Being a wise and just ruler is no easy task. That’s what Prince Veera discovers when he and his best friend, Suku, are given the opportunity to preside over the court of his father, King Bheema. Some of the subjects’ complaints are easily addressed, but others are much more challenging. How should they handle the case of the greedy merchant who wishes to charge people for enjoying the smells of his sweets? And can they prove that an innocent man cannot possibly spread bad luck? Will Prince Veera and Suku be able to settle the dispute between a man and his neighbor to whom he sells a well — but not the water in it? Or solve the mystery of the jewels that have turned into pickles? Illustrated throughout by Uma Krishnaswamy, these eight original tales by Chitra Soundar task Veera and Suku with outwitting the kingdom’s greediest, wiliest subjects. Are the two clever boys up to the challenge?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEven young children want answers to the hard questions about God and suffering. In The Moon Is Always Round, seminary professor and author Jonathan Gibson uses the vivid imagery of the moon to explain to children how God’s goodness is always present, even when it might appear to be obscured by upsetting or difficult circumstances. In this beautiful, full-color illustrated book, he allows readers to eavesdrop on the conversations he had with his young son in response to his sister’s death. Father and son share a simple liturgy together that reminds them that, just as the moon is always round despite its different phases, so also the goodness of God is always present throughout the different phases of life. A section in the back of the book offers further biblical help for parents and caregivers in explaining God’s goodness to children. Jonathan Gibson reminds children of all ages that God’s goodness is present in the most difficult of times, even if we can’t always see it.
