W. H. Auden once wrote that "art is our chief means of breaking bread with the dead." In his brilliant and compulsively readable new treatise, Breaking Bread with the Dead, Alan Jacobs shows us that engaging with the strange and wonderful writings of the past might help us live less anxiously in the present--and increase what Thomas Pynchon once called our "personal density."

Christians have a glorious destiny, but it can be difficult to see how this makes any practical difference to our lives. In fact, if we’re honest, it’s all too easy to concentrate on the here and now and to forget that we’re heading anywhere particularly glorious at all.
In Breathtaking Glory, Tom Robson invites us to pause from the demands of our busy lives and to look afresh at where we’re heading. Rooted in Scripture, this book redirects our gaze to Christ and helps us to consider how his grace, faithfulness and victory — one day to be fully enjoyed — can actually be experienced now.
To understand why heaven will be so glorious we need to fix our eyes on the King of glory himself. When we do this, we’ll find that not only do we enjoy living for him more each day but our longing to be with him in our future heavenly home will also grow.

From the Publisher:
Bridges and tunnels are lifelines People have tackled seemingly insurmountable obstacles, including vast canyons and mountain ranges, to design and construct these amazing passageways. Bridges and Tunnels: Investigate Feats of Engineering invites children ages 9 and up to explore the innovation and physical science behind structures our world depends on. Trivia and fun facts illustrate engineering ingenuity and achievements. Activities and projects encourage children to learn about the engineering process and to embrace trial and error. Children will engage in a hands-on exploration of Newton's Third Law of Motion and of forces that push and pull on structures. They'll make an egg bungee jump and a soda pop can engine. They'll experiment with a triangular toothpick dome, liquefaction, and corrosion. In Bridges and Tunnels: Investigate Feats of Engineering, children will explore their own engineering and building skills as they create several bridge models.
Like the month she was born in and named after, April was bright one moment and dark the next. But mostly she was Bright April—because of her happy family, her Brownie Scout troop, and all her friends in the Philadelphia suburb where she lived.
This is April’s story. It is especially the story of her tenth birthday, which brought the best surprise she could have ever imagined.
In Roger Priddy's Bright Baby Touch & Feel Baby Animals board book, little learners meet all different sorts of furry and feathery creatures, big and small.
