Kathleen Long Bostrom and Peter Graystone provide the ultimate
to do list: ninety-nine things that everyone should experience
during their time on earth. From the sublime (watch the sun rise),
to the wonderfully silly (ride a roller-coaster!), the activities
presented will breathe new life into readers' lives while opening
them up to new spiritual experiences.
Each entry provides a description of the activity, what the
reader can expect to gain from it, and how much of a time
commitment it will require. Blank space is included to record
memories of and thoughts about the experience.
Violence, Trauma, and Memory: Responses to War in the Late Medieval
and Early Modern World brings together eight essays that examine
medieval and early modern violence and warfare in France, the
Hispanic World, and the Dutch Republic through the lens of trauma
studies and memory studies. By focusing on warfare, these essays by
historians, literary specialists, and historians of visual culture
demonstrate how individuals and groups living with the
"ungraspable" outcomes of wartime violence grappled with processing
and remembering (both culturally and politically) the trauma of
war.

Kids ages 0-5 will love learning about God's unconditional love through the fun rhymes and cute pictures of the Little Blessings characters. With solid content from Kathy Bostrom and the endearing art of the Care Bears artist, this chunky board book will entertain young children as they learn that God loves them just the way they are--no matter what!
Celebrate the differences that make life richer and more
interesting with this inclusive board book about a budding
friendship. Making friends is something all children do, but
sometimes it can feel scary. They might worry that no one will like
them or that they are too different to find a friend. In this sweet
board book, the narrator lists all the ways children can be
different from a prospective friend: "I wake early. You're up late.
My hair's curly. Yours is straight. I can swim, but you can skate.
Will you be friends with me?" Instead of worrying that these
differences will make friendship impossible, the narrator decides
that: "We are different. That's okay! Life is much more fun that
way." Perfect for children heading to school or any child in a new
situation trying to make friends, this encouraging book reassures
readers that diversity is what makes friendship--and life--so
interesting.

This charming tale with the popular Veggie crew will comfort little ones and inspire them to let their light shine.

Having a bad day? Having a bad year? With this warm and
thoughtful volume, Kathleen Long Bostrom offers one hundred simple
exercises that will boost and strengthen your spirit--that
essential part of you that connects you to God. These exercises
will help readers nurture their souls, a practice too often ignored
as we deal with the day to day minutia of our lives. Each
imaginative entry contains a practical step to boost the spirit, a
relevant Scripture passage and quotation for reflection, a fun fact
related to the exercise, and ample space for journaling. More than
simply cheering us up, Bostrom's suggestions, thoughtfully
undertaken, can create an enduring shift in how we choose to view
the inevitable downsides of life.
Best-selling author Kathy Bostrom offers this book of devotions to
help women create calm in the chaos of their busy lives. The book
comprises twenty-eight days of devotions for each month of the
year, so that readers can begin using the book during any month.
Each week's devotions, prayers, quotations, and "Spirit Boosters"
focus on one Bible passage, which is read each day of that week.
Each week ends with a "Sabbath Celebration," a time for quiet
prayer, reflection, and renewal. The "Spirit Boosters" for each
week are divided into "Reaching In" and "Reaching Out" sections.
They offer suggestions for ways to be kind to yourself and to
others while nurturing your own faith. This book is ideal for
women's prayer groups, to give as a gift, or to give to yourself.
In The Dark Thread, scholars examine a set of important and
perennial narrative motifs centered on violence within the family
as they have appeared in French, English, Spanish, and American
literatures. Over fourteen essays, contributors highlight the
connections between works from early modernity and subsequent texts
from the eighteenth through the twentieth centuries, in which
incidents such as murder, cannibalism, poisoning, the burial of the
living, the failed burial of the dead, and subsequent apparitions
of ghosts that haunt the household unite “high” and “low”
cultural traditions. This book questions the traditional separation
between the highly honored genre of tragedy and the less respected
and generally less well-known genres of histoires tragiques, gothic
tales and novels, and horror stories. Published by University of
Delaware Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.
