Rosezinda


Book Description

"Rosezinda: Riding Rainbows is a fanciful tale that literally starts out with a 'bang!' Within seconds of being struck by a speeding van, Cora, a plucky outspoken 13-year-old, is taken on the thrill ride of her young life. Arriving in a new reality called 'E' and renamed Rosezinda, she encounters a collection of colorful individuals who take her on a series of hair-raising adventures. "This quirky and somewhat edgy story had me hooked from its exciting beginning to the surprise ending. I didn't want to put it down until I had read the last word; even then, I found myself turning the page, wanting more. The evocative imagery and eccentric characters are worthy of a Spielberg movie (especially the wonderful 'basketball game,' which is unlike any basketball game the reader could ever imagine)! "Though the story's intended audience is children-who I believe will be entranced by it-it may be enjoyed on multiple levels by older readers. Parents may wish to read Rosezinda: Riding Rainbows with their children and discuss some of the provocative questions it brings up. I'm anxious to read more of Rosezinda's adventures! I applaud Parker on his originality and creativity." -Linda R. Thompson, Ed.D., Director of Student Support Services, Harding University, Arkansas "John Parker's book is exciting because it includes the things that are important in life. When I grow up, I will make a movie out of it if there isn't one by then." -12-year-old Alex in grade six, Vancouver, BC. "Parker has created a wonderful magical world that is totally against the readers' perception of reality, but which seems entirely plausible." -Monique Trottier, Raincoast Publishers "I predict that Rosezinda will become a classic." -Dr. Jennifer Hurd, Senior Consultant, Houghton Mifflin "I can size Rosezinda up in one word: BRILLIANT." -R. Rudolph, Harmony House Publishers More Praise for Rosezinda inside

A Rainbow Heart


Book Description

This story radiates hope. It inspires us to encounter God in our darkest hour. When the Holy Spirit gave the Edmonds their ‘Rainbow Promise,’ they were high up on the eleventh floor of a hospital tower with their critically ill baby, James. In faith, they embraced it fully. However, they had no idea that God would unravel His colorful supernatural sign, not only across the sky, but across generational timelines and even realms where angels moved. Ultimately, this radiant promise would lead them to heaven’s gate. Lara and Andrew Edmonds have had the privilege of sharing their journey with a number of churches, schools, and ladies’ groups over the years, and it has touched the hearts of many people... “Your testimony about your journey with little Baby James said what a hundred sermons could not say. I know that there wasn’t a dry eye in the church. From all of us, who sat in your presence with weeping hearts that night, I thank you for your courage and for the wonderful witness to the love of God, as revealed in His ‘rainbow’ fingerprints.” (Rev Ian Mc Guigan – All Saints United Church, Pietermaritzburg, 2004). Lessons on letting go.




Outside Chance (Don't Doubt the Rainbow 2)


Book Description

It's been three months since 13-year-old Edie solved her mother's murder and became a supersleuth. One evening Edie is babysitting for a neighbour, Donna, who has repeatedly caught sight of an estranged friend from overseas. What is troubling Donna, however, is that it seems she's been in the same place at the same time as this friend on a number of occasions over the past few days. Meanwhile, Edie's school friend Harry Coranger is suspicious of his stepfather, who has become involved with ultra-radical anti-capitalists who, furious at the state of the planet and its greed-fuelled decline, are plotting an audacious double atrocity. Utilising her brave instincts and skills as a supersleuth for hire, Edie sets about resolving the mysteries and averting the crises that she is confronted with - as she comes to realise that things often happen outside of chance, and outside of our understanding and control. To solve each mystery, Edie must harness the Three Principles, a new approach to understanding how the mind works that is currently proving invaluable in improving mental health and well-being in children internationally.
