What might happen if we live out of loving encounter with God and
build in response to what he reveals? How can we make space to hear
God and say yes to him? What if being a leader is all about being a
follower? Is it really that simple? These are the questions that
have led Jill Weber on the adventure of saying yes to the more of
God - the invitation to really live. This honest, warm and
compelling book speaks directly to those who long to encounter more
of Jesus, to know how tune into the small movements of the heart,
and to have trust in every moment of their lives. With wisdom and
wit Jill explores prayer, discernment, vocation and leadership
through her story of building and becoming a House of Prayer,
offering encouragement that gives readers the confidence to say yes
to what God is already doing. Jill's story will build faith in
readers and help them to discover the freedom that lies beyond that
yes - of giving it all for Jesus. Even the Sparrow is both an
invitation and a challenge - to walk step by step as God leads
might lead us on paths that are at turns messy, complicated and
inconvenient, but as we follow him the path can also be unexpected
and breathtaking beauty.

This festive parody reimagines a classic bedtime book as a lively
Jewish family gathering complete with bubbies and zeydes-a perfect
gift or read aloud that includes an exclusive latke recipe by Ina
Garten, TV's Barefoot Contessa! In the small blue room there was a
bubbala, and a little shmatta, and then-oy vey!-came the whole
mishpacha! This zesty parody of one of America's favorite picture
books offers a very different bedtime routine: one that is full of
family exuberance and love. Instead of whispers of "hush," this
bedtime includes dancing and kvelling, and of course,
noshing-because this little bunny is a Jewish bunny, and this
joyous book celebrates the Jewish values of cherishing your loved
ones, expressing gratitude, and being generous. Filled with Yiddish
words, the book includes a phonetic glossary and even an easy latke
recipe by beloved cookbook author Ina Garten, who calls the book
"brilliant, beautiful, important, and so much fun!"
The man who saved the lives of his PT-109 crewmen during WWII and
became the 35th president fought-and won-his first battle at the

Although his presidency was cut short, our nation's youngest
elected leader left an indelible mark on the American consciousness
and now is profiled in our "Who Was...?" series. Included are 100
black-and-white illustrations as well as a timeline that guides
readers through this eventful period in history.
Finally, Angel’s family life is nearly perfect: one mother (who is able to spend more time at home), one new father (who turned out all right despite being a TV clown), and one little brother (even though he gets an embarrassing case of head lice). All’s fine, that is, until Angel’s mother returns home from a doctor’s appointment with some shocking news: a baby! For beloved worrywart Angel, things will never stay the same.
With the excitement of her mother getting married and having a baby, Angel is ready for a nice long summer at home in Elm City, Wisconsin. But another change is brewing for poor Angel. Her stepfather is taking the family to Greece to meet their new grandparents. Angel will have to get on a plane and fly over the ocean to a foreign land - will she have to use one of those airsick bags on the plane? Will there be anything to eat in Greece besides those little fish with their heads on? How will she understand her grandparents? And, most important, will Angel ever make it back home or will her stepfather want the family to stay in Greece forever? Back by popular demand, here is another fast-paced, hilarious adventure for that much-loved character, Angel. Change isn't always easy, but even worrywart Angel just may spread her wings a little as she learns that home is where the heart is.

But when it turns out the letters are actually from Rudy, the charming man Mrs. O'Leary met on her vacation, Angel isn't as relieved as she should be. Besides being a threat to their family, he is after all, a professional clown . . . Worrywart Angel and her little brother, Rags, will delight old fans and new readers alike as they face an unusual dilemma with typically hilarious results.
