The book is designed to show some of the wonders that are in heaven waiting for us through the Father's love. Ruth Robbins grew up the oldest of eight children in Wisconsin. She has always had a love of books, especially the Bible. When she was offered the opportunity to pursue a doctorate in First Century Faith, she completed it in one year. Ruth's hobbies include music, painting, and making beaded jewelry. These were not enough. They didn't seem to reach many people. The Gospel must be preached by whatever means. Books often help. In 2012 her dad died, and during the month after his death, a working title came to mind for a first draft of her book, Young Jaden's Adventures in Heaven, which is her first novel. Ruth currently lives where she grew up, with two family members, and near other family members, in Wisconsin.
Jaden, a nine-year-old boy, has an accident while riding his bike on the way to a friend's house. Having been struck by a car, he dies on the scene. He is taken to heaven on a bicycle built for two by an ancestor, and has a number of adventures and other types of experiences during his orientation school. Food lover that he is, many events involve food. Relatives give him a home and offer him friendship while he begins his wait for the rest of his family to rejoin him. He watches surround-sound videos of family history, his own history, and answers to prayer. He meets historical people in the sciences and music, and begins to learn music. His coaches for baseball include a new friend, and his daily Bible lessons with friends are led by Jesus himself. After thirty days (as measured by his sleep times), he graduates from Orientation School. His name, Jaden, comes from non-biblical Hebrew and means God (Ja-) Has Heard (-den). Many of his experiences during the first thirty days can be inferred from Bible passages as possible to experience in Heaven. I have also read many books which have included experiences which were interpreted as being of Heaven. One common thread is that the five senses were enhanced. Several mentioned seeing relatives. I have assumed that biblical characters are approachable as well as being teachers of the books that they wrote. Heaven being a real place for a prepared people, there will be no sin there, and all tears will be wiped away from our eyes. Who can even begin to comprehend what we can experience? We will have all eternity to be with our loving heavenly Father. Who can begin to understand what He has for us? Perhaps a novel like this can be a very small start in that direction.

Bunny (real name Bernard) doesn't understand why his late grandfather wants him to get a tattoo. Actually, Bunny doesn't understand a lot of things, so it's good that his older brother, Spencer, is happy to explain things to him. But this is a task Bunny is supposed to do on his own, and nobody is more surprised than Bunny when, after he gets tattooed, he is befriended by a kid named Jaden and adopted into Jaden's gang. The gang hangs out at a gym, where Bunny learns to fight, but when it finally dawns on him that the gang is involved in some pretty shady—and dangerous—business, Bunny is torn between his loyalty to his new friends and doing what he knows is right. Bunny's adventures start in Weerdest Day Ever!, part of The Seven Prequels and continue in The Wolf and Me, part of The Seven Sequels.

A New York Times Bestseller For Lady Gaga, kindness is the driving force behind everything she says and does. The quiet power of kindness can change the way we view one another, our communities, and even ourselves. She embodies this mission, and through her work, brings more kindness into our world every single day. Lady Gaga has always believed in the importance of being yourself, being kind to yourself, and being kind to others, no matter who they are or where they come from. With that sentiment in mind, she and her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, founded Born This Way Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to making the world a kinder and braver place. Through the years, they've collected stories of kindness, bravery and resilience from young people all over the world, proving that kindness truly is the universal language. And now, we invite you to read these stories and follow along as each and every young author finds their voice just as Lady Gaga has found hers. Within these pages, you’ll meet young changemakers who found their inner strength, who prevailed in the face of bullies, who started their own social movements, who decided to break through the mental health stigma and share how they felt, who created safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth, and who have embraced kindness with every fiber of their being by helping others without the expectation of anything in return. In one story, you’ll read about a young person with an autoimmune disease, who after being bullied at school, learned how to practice self-love and started an organization with the mission of educating others about the importance of self-love, too; and in another story, you’ll meet a young person who decided to start a movement to help eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health and encouraged others to talk about their feelings openly and honestly, a reminder that kindness and mental wellness go hand in hand. Not only were we moved by these individual acts of kindness, but we were also touched by the many stories of organizations, neighborhoods, and entire communities that fully dedicated themselves to helping those in need and found new, innovative ways to make our world a kinder and braver place. Individually and collectively, these stories prove that kindness not only saves lives but builds community. Kindness is inclusion, it is pride, it is empathy, it is compassion, it is self-respect and it is the guiding light to love. Kindness is always transformational, and its never-ending ripples result in even more kind acts that can change our lives, our communities, and our world.

-I had a dream about heaven!- exclaimed Priyanka. Running up to her mom one morning, four-year-old Priyanka nonchalantly mentioned that Jesus had taken her and her two-year-old sister Deepika to heaven during the previous night. In the days that followed, the sisters amazed their parents with their vivid descriptions of what they saw and experienced in heaven and hell over the course of several visits there. Within the constraints of their limited preschool vocabulary, the girls described deep theological truths about eternity that often belied their years, speaking with remarkable clarity and boldness. Their mom initially recorded their testimonies in a written journal as well as a video log. Now, for the first time, -Snatched Up to Heaven- documents their true accounts alongside the purifying lens of the Word of God. While much of the narrative focuses on our after-life destinies, -Snatched Up to Heaven- will give you a fresh perspective on how to live a life of eternal significance today.
