If the Iliad is the world's greatest war epic, the Odyssey is literature's grandest evocation of an everyman's journey through life. Odysseus' reliance on his wit and wiliness for survival in his encounters with divine and natural forces during his ten-year voyage home to Ithaca after the Trojan War is at once a timeless human story and an individual test of moral endurance.Sku: 9780140268867

Penned by author, poet, and lyricist Douglas Kaine McKelvey (The Angel Knew Papa and the Dog) and illustrated by painter Jamin Still (Ellen and the Winter Wolves), The Wishes of the Fish King is a lyrical, luminous, hardback picture book, capturing the magic of that brief season when a child first ponders the wonder-filled world. The story unfolds as a bright reminiscing, a joyful ache that hovers in that wonder-filled space between fantasy and reality. Expressed in the voice of a parent but seen through the innocent eyes and fantastic imagination of a child, The Wishes of the Fish King is all about "making us remember, for one wild moment," the wonders of this brief, shared life. This is a story meant for generations to read aloud, share, and delight in together!Sku: 9780986381867

The World According to Narnia is a journey further up and further into the imaginative world of C. S. Lewis. Along the way, Jonathan Rogers makes the case that this world--the one where we actually live--is a place no less wondrous than Narnia itself. "Imagination is a serious business. It gives substance to our yearnings for something beyond ourselves. Imagination is what convinces us that there is more to the world than meets the eye. And isn't that the first principle of faith? The Chronicles of Narnia awaken the reader to the imaginative possibilities of the gospel that have been there all along. The Chronicles serve as a reminder that if the gospel doesn't fill you with overwhelming awe and joy and fear and hope, you may not have really understood what the gospel says." --from the IntroductionSku: 9780988963276
