What happens when the girl who could fly can't fly anymore? Piper's
ability has disappeared, perhaps the result of some dark spell put
on her, or perhaps because her ability has simply vanished forever.
There is a worldwide calamity that Piper, Conrad, and their
exceptional friends must tackle to save the planet, but Piper is
left behind. If she can't fly, then what use is she? Piper learns
she can't do a lot of things - cook, clean, and help Ma around the

end up helping her believe in herself again. Does she fly again?
Yes. And in the process, she learns that life is always
exceptional, and 'abilities' come in many forms.

In an age of tourism, the great challenge is to see ourselves at a
deeper level: the dimension of pilgrimage. Being a pilgrim might
involve a journey to distant places associated with God-revealing
events, but it has more to do with simply living day by day in a
God-attentive way. Jim Forest's book assists the reader to see
one's life as an opportunity for pilgrimage, whether in places as
familiar as your living room or walking the pilgrim path to
Santiago de Compostela. Drawing on the wisdom of the saints and his
own wide-ranging travels, Forest leads us to a range of "thin
places," including Iona, Jerusalem, the secret annex of Anne Frank,
the experience of illness, the practice of hospitality, and other
places and occasions where we may find ourselves surprised by
grace.
Once a defining feature of Christian life, the practice of
Confession has largely faded in recent years. And yet, without an
acknowledgment of sin and the longing for forgiveness and
reconciliation the Gospel makes little sense. In Confession Jim
Forest offers a moving reappraisal of this neglected sacrament,
drawing on scripture, the lives of the saints, and a wealth of
personal stories. From St. Augustine and St. Paul, to Dorothy Day,
Thomas Merton, and Dostoevsky, Forest shows how the practice of
confession draws us deeper into a loving relationship with God, the
body of Christ, and our fellow sinners.

Forest Grove, one of the first settlements in the Oregon Territory,
owes its name to its many varieties of trees. The first
Euro-American settlers arrived in West Tualatin Plains in 1841 and
were soon joined by other missionaries, including those fleeing the
tragedy of the 1847 Whitman Massacre. Anticipating the inevitable
emigrant migration, the missionaries hoped to teach the Native
Americans about farming and religion. The rich soil and plentiful
creeks made the area perfect for growing crops, and the abundant
forests would provide a future lumber industry. Without any
academic prospects, however, the area would not appeal to families.
Two remarkable men, Rev. Harvey Clark and Rev. George Atkinson, and
a feisty, lovable old woman named Tabitha Brown were determined to
establish a school. Thanks to their combined efforts, an orphanage
that began in a log cabin would grow into the prestigious
institution of higher learning that exists today--Pacific
University.
The first Lake Forest Day in 1908 included a hot air balloon
ascension, a cutest baby contest, a mind-reading dog, and a
vaudeville show. Proceeds from this event, organized by the Lake
Forest Womanas Club, funded the Contagious Hospital, which
eventually merged into Lake Forest Hospital. American Legion Post
264 took over in 1921 and has maintained this extraordinary
tradition ever since. This annual celebration has changed over the
years to reflect local interests, national events, and even
cultural shifts. With the advent of World War II, the themes became
patriotic, such as aHome Defense, a aPrelude to Victory, a and aOn
to Tokyo.a Lake Forest Day, held on the first Wednesday of August,
continues to inspire civic pride. This book represents a
fascinating look at Lake Forest in 1908 and the century thereafter,
as parades, carnivals, and contests energized community spirit.
Mifflin County was carved out of the wilderness along the Colonial
Pennsylvania frontier among the valleys of the Juniata River.
American Indians occupied the area for millennia prior to the
Albany Treaty of 1754, which opened the area to European
settlement. The French and Indian War raged here, but settlers
returned to establish the county. Named for Thomas Mifflin,
Pennsylvania's first governor, the county was established in 1789,
developing as a transportation hub in turnpike and canal days, as
well as during the founding of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Iron
produced in the 19th century in Mifflin County was considered the
best in America. Through vintage photographs and images, Mifflin
County highlights the founding, development, and heritage of this
area in central Pennsylvania.

The Forest Hills neighborhood is set within a heavily treed,
rolling landscape adjoining Rock Creek Park and was first home to
the Piscataway Indian tribe and later to Civil War encampments.
Threshing mills and large rural estates gradually gave way in the
early 1900s to a residential community in close proximity to the
National Bureau of Standards where many of the residents worked.
Diplomats, politicians, and many prominent Washingtonians now
inhabit many of the splendidly designed houses found in Forest
Hills today. 0Images of America: Forest Hills includes nearly 200
vintage images that document the long and fascinating history of
the community. Etchings, maps, and photographs combine to
illustrate Native American settlers; architect-designed residences;
and the homes of Presidents Truman and Johnson, infamous FBI
director J. Edgar Hoover, and Post cereal heiress Marjorie
Merriweather Post. The book also highlights Connecticut Avenue, the
neighborhood's main street; apartment buildings; and well-known
artists and authors who have called Forest Hills home.

April 1803. The Peace of Amiens is breaking down. Napoleon is
building ships and amassing an army just across the Channel.
Horatio Hornblower-who, at age twenty-seven, has already
distinguished himself as one of the most daring and resourceful
officers in the Royal Navy-commands the three-masted Hotspur on a
dangerous reconnaissance mission that evolves, as war breaks out,
into a series of spectacular confrontations. All the while, the
introspective young commander struggles to understand his new bride
and mother-in-law, his officers and crew, and his own "accursed
unhappy temperament"-matters that trouble him more, perhaps, than
any of Bonaparte's cannonballs.
