In the midst of the Vietnam War, a young girl struggles to embrace change in this tender family story for fans of Cynthia Lord and Wendy Maas Lucy is a practical, orderly person--just like her dad. He taught her to appreciate reason and good sense, instilling in her the same values he learned at medical school. But when he's sent to Vietnam to serve as an Army doctor, Lucy and her mother are forced to move to San Jose, California, to be near their relatives--the Rossis--people known for their superstitions and all around quirky ways. Lucy can't wait for life to go back to normal, so she's over the moon when she learns her father is coming home early. It doesn't even matter that he's coming back "different." That she can't ask too many questions or use the word "amputation." It just matters that he'll be home. But Lucy quickly realizes there's something very wrong when her mother sends her to spend the summer with the Rossis to give her father some space. Lucy's beside herself, but what's a twelve-year-old to do? It's a curious boy named Milo, a mysterious packet of photographs and an eye-opening mission that makes Lucy see there's more to life than schedules and plans, and helps to heal her broken family. The latest from critically-acclaimed author Tracy Holczer is a pitch-perfect middle grade tale of family and friendship that's sure to delight fans of One for the Murphys and Rules.

When we pursue a higher view of God – when we seek his kingdom above all –we will soon discover that there is a Christian way of seeing everything else. And then we will have found the secret of a truly meaningful and satisfying life. Jesus revealed profound truth through simple stories and the Bible itself is the greatest storybook ever written. Here are stories about life, faith and our world. They’re stories about people –some famous and others unknown. Some of these folks are in the Bible – others might live in your neighborhood. Some are kings and presidents, some are prophets and disciples and some are athletes and soldiers. Others are just ordinary people discovering what it means to live in this world as it is. These are stories about hope and despair, joy and sadness, and triumph and tragedy. They are stories about love and longing, life and death, fear and courage, and about heaven and hell. They’re also about history, politics and current events; about the Bible, theology and the Church. To live for Christ is to live for him fully. And to live for Christ fully is to live for him everywhere and in everything. How important our faith is to us – and the difference it makes -- all depends on how we see it. Nothing matters more than this – and nothing changes us more than this. These stories remind us that to know Jesus Christ –to desire to be his true follower – is not just to see him more clearly. It is, through Christ, to see everything else.

"A pleasure. ... Suitable for beach reading or for mainlining before a dinner party." —Dan Piepenbring, New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice) "Absorbing. ... As thoughtfully written as it is nuts." —Chicago Tribune A collection of the world’s most mind-boggling, thought-provoking, and downright hilarious theories by the co-host of the hit podcast No Such Thing as a Fish, Dan Schreiber. Why are we here? Do ghosts exist? Will we ever travel back in time? Are we being visited by extraterrestrials? Will we ever talk to animals? Are we being told the truth? Are mysterious creatures roaming the Earth? And why, when you’re in the shower, does the shower curtain always billow in towards you? We don’t know the answers to any of these questions (that includes the shower-curtain one, which is a mystery that has eluded scientists for decades, and which they are still trying to solve). But don’t worry, no matter what questions you have, you can bet on the fact that there is someone (or something) out there, investigating it on your behalf—and Dan Schreiber collects their latest findings. From the Silicon Valley tech billionaires currently trying to work out whether or not the universe is one giant video game simulation to the self-proclaimed community of Italian time-travelers who are trying to save the world from destruction; The Theory of Everything Else will act as a handbook for those who want to think differently.

In his earlier book, Eric Metaxas tackled the questions people had always wanted to ask about God. His book was well-received, but Metaxas soon realized there was a long list of questions that still needed to be addressed. In Everything Else You Always Wanted to Know about God…, the author answers the rest–and some of the very best–of the questions that surface when God is the topic of conversation. Metaxas’ s welcoming tone and his skillful use of humor lower readers’ defenses. He presents biblical truth in the form of engaging answers that can’t help but connect, whether the reader is an inquisitive skeptic, an open-minded agnostic, or even a new believer looking to get grounded in the basics of the Christian faith. No matter who is asking the questions, this sequel delivers the goods with disarming candor and biblical authority.

In this book I write about how God Himself spoke to me and also how being saved and born again changed my life. I also write about all the things that I am now doing from being saved. I just talk about how incredible and gracious God is, and I was a nonbeliever my whole entire life. That all changed when I started to feel the best I have ever felt in my life while here on this earth and I am forty-four years old. I talk about the way people would know if and when they are saved and what they would feel and act like all from my experience of course.
