The Finding Faith guidebook, for both instructors and the students themselves, explores arguments for and against the existence of God, offering religious perspectives in a non-dogmatic way that will allow readers of every belief system, including atheism, to feel respected and validated. It also provides a summary of the plot developments for each chapter, a philosophical basis for the key concepts of the chapters, discussion questions, and more.
Finding Faith features four children who are searching to find a missing puppy named Faith. Everywhere they go, people who discover that they are looking for “faith” have something to say about what faith and a belief in God mean to them. The kids exercise the skills of following complex arguments, suspending judgment, and having the courage of their convictions—as well as demonstrating the open-mindedness to consider other viewpoints.
Finding Hope Under Bethlehem Skies takes us on an Advent journey through 25 daily reflections. Each day has a short devotion, a suggested prayer and links to a response song. Come along to Bethlehem and discover the hope that shines brightly even on the darkest of nights.

Six-year-old Anna Pellowski’s older siblings, Jacob, Franciszek, Barney, Mary and Pauline are exposed to English at school, but only Polish is spoken at home. The younger children—Anna, Julian, Anton barely know a word of their new country’s language, but then neither do many of their neighbors. When the family goes to town to celebrate the 100th birthday of the United States, the speaker gives his speech in a mix of German, Polish, Bohemian and Norwegian! Some years before, in the mid 1800’s, Anna’s mother, father and brother Baby Jacob had come from Poland to live in a tiny sod house in Western Wisconsin and establish the very first farm in the entire Latsch Valley. Now the growing family lives in a real house, with neighbors on every side, and the world for quietly curious Anna is filled with fascinating possibilities—as well as lots of hard work. Sometimes she dreams of going back to the Poland she is always hearing about, but increasingly she realizes that life in Latsch Valley, with its rich cultural rhythm of work, play and religious faith, holds everything she could possibly want.
This is the first book in the Latsch Valley Farm Series. The second book in the series is Winding Valley Farm. The third book in the series is Stairstep Farm. The fourth book in the series is Willow Wind Farm. The fifth book in the series is Betsy's Up and Down Year.

The First Form Greek - Instructional Videos (Online Streaming) (8 hours, 10-20 minutes/lesson) feature superb explanations by Highlands Latin School teacher Elizabeth Pierce.
Her First Form Greek Instructional Videos include helpful on-screen notes, illustrations, diagrams, recitations, and all the oral drills in the First Form Greek Teacher Manual
First Form Greek teaches ancient Greek. Its general vocabulary and grammar will prepare the student for further study focused on the Greek New Testament and Septuagint or Classical Greek authors like Xenophon and Plato.
Based on the revolutionary First Form Latin series, First Form Greek is written for parents and teachers with or without a Greek background. Its goal is to present the grammar so logically and so systematically that anyone can learn it. At the same time, we have adapted the Latin First Form Series to account for the differences between Greek and Latin, such as the new alphabet, overlapping sounds, more variation within paradigms, and less regularity. First Form Greek overcomes these challenges with the addition of weekly vocabulary reviews, more frequent recitation, and an “expanded” dictionary entry for Greek verbs.
