with girls, and many other struggles. The Ultimate Boys' Book of

created them to be. This daily devotional provides boys ages 9-12
with: A Bible verse and explanation of its relevance A devotion
with practical, age-appropriate messaging that applies to boys'
lives Tools to help boys put this valuable knowledge into practice
and live in a godly way Material from Devotions to Make You
Smarter, Devotions to Make You Stronger, and Devotions to Take You
Deeper, and almost 100 new devotions The Ultimate Boys' Book of
Devotions shows preteen boys how to grow stronger, smarter, cooler,
and deeper, using wisdom from the Bible and a healthy dose of
humor.

* New beginnings * Places of worship * Friends * Festivals * Rites of passage * Water themes * Animals and birds * Inspirational leaders
There is also a useful section of background information for teachers on the different world religions featured as well as pronunciation guides for some of the songs featured.

Taking the best ideas from both and adding plenty of new material, it will be invaluable to any primary school teacher or trainee teacher who is looking for a collection of assembly ideas that promote tolerance and understanding of the multi-faith society in which we live.
Have you ever wanted to travel the world? Perhaps you'd like to
visit far away countries and discover all about the people who live
there? What if instead, you'd like to have adventures closer to
home? Well this book is for you! Meet some very adventurous
missionaries and learn about the countries they worked in. Find out
what it's like to be in the middle of the Mau Mau rebellion in
Africa or how orphanages in India present difficulties you would
never imagine. Find out how difficult it can be talking to people
about Jesus in London or how looking after children in China is
completely different, and exhausting! Gladys Aylward, Jim Elliot,
Amy Carmichael, William Carey, Lottie Moon, and others all knew
what it was like to work in a foreign country. Charles Spurgeon and
Chief White Feather were missionaries in their native lands - but
they had troubles too. Here is danger, adventure and excitement -
all through working for God. Here are stories about people from the
beginning of modern-day missions up to the present day. It's all
part of being in the Christian family - a family that is spreading
round the whole world at an amazing rate. At the end of the book
are some check-up questions to help you remember the stories.
Asiya's hijab is like the ocean and the sky, no line between them,
saying hello with a loud wave. It's Faizah's first day of school,
and her older sister Asiya's first day of wearing hijab - made of a
beautiful blue fabric. But not everyone sees hijab as beautiful. In
the face of hurtful, confusing words, will Faizah find new ways to
be strong? This is an uplifting, universal story of new
experiences, the unbreakable bond shared by siblings and of being
proud of who you are, from Olympic medallist Ibtihaj Muhammad.
