Loneliness among kids is on the rise. In Marvel at the Moon: 90
Devotions: You're Never Alone in God's Majestic Universe, author
and pastor Levi Lusko uses illuminating stories, biblical teaching,
and eye-opening surprises about outer space to show kids that
they're never alone, because God is always with them. The moon is a
constant and mysterious presence in our sky! Kids marvel at it,
just as adults do, wondering about our big universe. And they'll
love learning about the moon and other out-of-this-world
discoveries about God's creative cosmos. With insightful,
educational, and comforting devotions, kids will discover that God
is powerful, He is good, and He will never leave us. Including fun
facts and simple action steps, this 90-day devotional journey will
help kids to handle real-life issues such as loneliness, peer
pressure, negative emotions, and more; tackle truths about God's
creation, learn how our universe fits together in perfect harmony,
and discover God's love for His children; learn from courageous
people, including Father Abraham, Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong,
Katherine Johnson, and many others; dig into interesting space and
astronomy facts, plus scientific findings reinforced by the Bible;
and foster a new sense of wonder at God's magnificent creation as
they engage with His promises. Despite the conundrums kids may face
on earth, they'll learn that God defies gravity and is with them
wherever they go!
Exploring the role of museums, galleries and curators during the
upheaval of the Second World War, this book challenges the accepted
view of a hiatus in museum services during the conflict and its
immediate aftermath. Instead it argues that new thinking in the
1930s was realised in a number of promising initiatives during the
war only to fail during the fragmented post-war recovery. Based on
new research including interviews with retired museum staff,
letters, diaries, museum archives and government records, this
study reveals a complex picture of both innovation and inertia. At
the outbreak of war precious objects were stored away and staff
numbers reduced, but although many museums were closed, others
successfully campaigned to remain open. By providing innovative
modern exhibitions and education initiatives they became popular
and valued venues for the public. After the war, however, museums
returned to their more traditional, collections-centred approach
and failed to negotiate the public funding needed for
reconstruction based on this narrower view of their role. Hence, in
the longer term, the destruction and economic and social
consequences of the conflict served to delay aspirations for
reconstruction until the 1960s. Through this lens, the history of
the museum in the mid-twentieth century appears as one shaped by
the effects of war but equally determined by the input of curators,
audiences and the state. The museum thus emerges not as an isolated
institution concerned only with presenting the past but as a
product of the changing conflicts and cultures within society.
Kids are wrestling with tough issues these days-peer pressure,
purpose, unexpected change or loss, and wondering where their faith
fits in with it all. Roar Like a Lion encourages your kids to "run
toward the roar" as they face their fears, knowing that God is with
them every step of the way. Pastor and bestselling author Levi
Lusko is known for making tough topics accessible while drawing his
readers toward a richer spiritual life. In his first children's
devotional for ages 6 to 10, Levi tackles real issues our kids face
with a lighthearted and approachable tone. Kids are equipped to
approach both fun moments and tough times with their hearts set on
God's faithfulness with the help of fascinating stories and facts,
eye-catching art, Bible verses, prayers, and simple action steps.
This 90-day devotional covers highly relevant topics such as:
facing fears about school and friendships having courage to try
something new handling new challenges, past disappointments, and
grief dealing with peer pressure and bullying understanding how we
each fit into God's great story As a parent and pastor, Levi is
able to address real-life situations with compassion, grace, and
biblical authenticity. Roar Like a Lion is a great way to spark
discussion with your kids on meaningful topics and get them in the
habit of reading a biblically-based devotional. Offering practical
approaches to faith in everyday life, Roar Like a Lion will inspire
your kids to nurture their personal faith in a God strong enough to
protect and guide them as they run toward the roar during the
challenges in their lives.

E.J. Rudsdale's role as a museum curator and air-raid shelter
superintendent at Colchester Castle during the Second World War
gave him the perfect opportunity to record life on the Home Front
in his journals. Seventy years later, the selected extracts
gathered here provide a remarkable insight into wartime life.
Rudsdale's writing is characterised throughout by his wry
observations of wartime officialdom and his lack of conformity with
the prevailing views of the time. He was a pacifist, which gives
his journals an unusual perspective. However, even as a civilian he
could not escape the conflict, living in a garrison town threatened
by invasion and regular bombing raids. His journals, therefore,
record anxious and tragic events, but throughout it all his sense
of humour is never diminished. This absorbing collection
demonstrates Rudsdale's ability to bring a scene vividly to life
and each account highlights the daily pressures that people endured
as they valiantly tried to carry on with normal life in spite of
the war.
