From the Publisher:
Globally, we’ve never been more anxious. Statistics for those seeking help for anxiety are rising rapidly and countless more individuals battle day after day feeling isolated and alone. Maybe you’re one of them.
If so, then this timely and helpful book on anxiety is for you. Writing both to those desperately seeking peace for themselves and for those seeking to help others, Chartered psychologist and experienced counsellor Catherine Haddow speaks truth to calm our fearful minds and hearts.
Catherine helps us to understand how anxiety operates in our bodies at a physical and spiritual level. She then unpacks how the treasure of the gospel can alter our experience of anxiety, pointing to how God’s promises penetrate our struggles.
There is another better way to contend with our anxieties. Ultimately, deep and lasting peace can be found, not in a process, but in the person of Jesus who meets us in our fear and brokenness.

"This is a book about Heaven,” says Jayber Crow, “but I must say too that . . . I have wondered sometimes if it would not finally turn out to be a book about Hell.” It is 1932 and he has returned to his native Port William to become the town's barber.
Orphaned at age ten, Jayber Crow’s acquaintance with loneliness and want have made him a patient observer of the human animal, in both its goodness and frailty.
He began his search as a "pre-ministerial student" at Pigeonville College. There, freedom met with new burdens and a young man needed more than a mirror to find himself. But the beginning of that finding was a short conversation with "Old Grit," his profound professor of New Testament Greek.
"You have been given questions to which you cannot be given answers. You will have to live them out―perhaps a little at a time."
"And how long is that going to take?"
"I don't know. As long as you live, perhaps."
"That could be a long time."
"I will tell you a further mystery," he said. "It may take longer."
Wendell Berry’s clear-sighted depiction of humanity’s gifts―love and loss, joy and despair―is seen though his intimate knowledge of the Port William Membership.

The Hurons stared at the giant young Norman, as tall and broad as they, a Jesuit priest robed in black and with a full black beard on his gentle face. He was to live among them for nineteen years, patiently and with enormous difficulty learning their ways and language. He would eat their raw bear and moose meat, paddle many months and many miles in their canoes, build his rough chapel surrounded by their long houses, and win their respect and love, leading a small band of them into the Christian faith.
At length, joined by other "Blackrobes", Father Jean de Brébeuf erected a bit of Old France, with church and stockade, in the Canadian wilderness. Yet he saw his village chapels burned, his converts shunned and tortured, and his fellow priests murdered by the Iroquois, the enemy of the Hurons. Never disturbed by fears for his own safety, he also died at their hands after incredible tortures in 1649.
This swift-paced book is more than a biography of a great saint. It is a vital chapter in the tragic history of New France in North America, a story of the failure of colonization partially redeemed by the blood of the martyrs of the Church.

In 1826, Jedediah Smith decided to lead a group of men southwest from Utah to search for the Buenaventura River, the mythical river that appeared on old Spanish maps but that no one had been able to find. The group made it to California without seeing the river, so Jed and two of his men went out again, heading east over the mountains and the desert. It was a treacherous journey, but Jed would not give up.

The Airplane that Taught America to Fly.
Barely 40 years separate the Wright brothers' flight and those of the first jet aircraft. The World War II pilots who were the first to fly those jets and who would later become the first airline pilots, learned to fly in little cloth and wooden biplanes, the aircraft of the 1920s and 1930s.

One of the most tender, touching, and withal gracious stories that we ever remember to have read. A dear little book for our children. We are not ashamed of having shed tears while reading it; in fact, should have been ten times more ashamed if we had not. The sweet portrait of the poor child Jessica is a study, and old Daniel is perfect in his own way. ~The Sword and Trowel

Look Inside
Teach children about Jesus’ return and why it’s so surprising.
