Jonathan Toomey is the best woodcarver in the valley, but he is always alone and never smiles.
No one knows about the mementos of his lost wife and child that he keeps in an unopened drawer.
But one early winter’s day, a widow and her young son approach him with a gentle request that leads to a joyful miracle.
A long, long time ago so long that it’s hard to imagine God promised a new King. He wasn’t any ordinary king, like the ones we see on TV or in books. He would be different. He would be a new King; a rescuing King; a forever King!

This beautiful Christmas story, set in Italy during the 1950s, is about a potter's son who goes down the mountain with his father shortly before Christmas to sell pots, vases, and platters.
Far out to sea, the freighter Stjerne, fought the storm bravely. At home in the little Norwegian fishing village, twelve-year-old Arne and his family waited and prayed.
It was the Christmas season, and the Stjerne was the Christmas ship this year, bearing Yuletide gifts and other good things for the village...
Share the true meaning of Christmas with your children this holiday season. This simple but poetic text brings to life the story of Jesus' birth in a stable in Bethlehem.

Experience all of The Chronicles of Narnia in full colour in this seven-book paperback box set.
Readers of all ages—whether they are experiencing Narnia for the first time or returning once again to the magical world—will love seeing the creatures and landscapes of C. S. Lewis's classic fantasy series in gorgeous colour.
It begins with the New Testament and traces the Church through the Middle Ages, the Reformation, the Church in the New World and finally the Church in the early nineteenth century. A must for all who want to study the Church.
Few books have impacted the West as deeply as The City of God. Saint Augustine blazed trails not only in the realms of politics and philosophy, but in the life of the heart, exploring the relationship between a loving God and a shattered world. Thomas Aquinas, Charlemagne, John Calvin, Hannah Arendt, and Pope Benedict XVI alike have drawn from this text's deep and varied wells.
Yet few of us will ever read the epic work, which often stretches past one thousand pages. This volume, however, offers a shorter, simpler road through Augustine's masterpiece. Edited by Hans Urs von Balthasar, it presents key selections from The City of God, culled for their beauty and spiritual power, buttressed with notes, and arranged by theme—from the creation of the world to the Roman Empire, from human happiness to the nature of death.
'Once, a very long time ago, King Mer-kar ruled over the city of Uruk in ancient Sumer'.. so begins this folktale from the ancient Near East. The City of Rainbows is the story of a wise king, a foolish king, magical deeds, talking animals, witches, sorcerers and godesses.
The Clipper Ship Strategy by Richard J. Maybury explains how government's interference in the economy affects business, careers, and investments. It's a practical nuts-and-bolts strategy for prospering in our turbulent economy.
A Story About Russia
“If we only had something better for the little one,” Ivan added, in a lower tone. “He can’t eat that.”
“Don’t fret, Father,” said Michael, a good-humoured lad on the whole. “I’ll ask Master to give me a roll for him at dinner-time, and besides, there’s Peter —” (the brother next in age, who had just got a place as one of the boy-postillions the wealthy Russians were so fond of having) — “Peter may come and see us, and bring us a kopeck or two for him.”
The Young Burning Hearts Series is a series of fascinating independent stories for young and old of faithfulness in trying times.
