Some quick updates for our December newsletter:
|
Journey Through the Night: Volume 1 "Into the Darkness"After the second world war, Anne de Vries, one of Holland's most popular novelists, was commissioned to capture the spirit and agony of those five harrowing years of Nazi occupation. During that occupation, almost three quarters of the Netherlands’ Jewish population had been transported to concentration and extermination camps. Journey Through the Night is a glimpse into the lives and emotions of those who risked their lives to help the Jews and others with bounties on their heads. |

The Adventures of Buster BearWhen Buster Bear comes to live in the Green Forest, the amiable bully stirs up quite a commotion, for bears haven't lived in the forest for years. And sure enough, before long Buster has a series of run-ins with Little Joe Otter, Chatterer the Red Squirrel, Farmer Brown's Boy, and even a stubborn metal pail! These and other entertaining escapades are delightfully recounted in this engaging tale by storyteller Thornton Burgess. Set in a timeless world of bubbling brooks, blue skies, and green groves, the story also teaches valuable lessons on the dangers of greed, pride, and insensitivity. |

Missionary Heroes: Volume 3Great listening for teens and adults (not recommended for younger children due to vivid descriptions of some scenes) Through the centuries, the world has been witness to an unbroken trail of heroes--men and women who braved privation, danger, and death to bring the light of the Gospel to the darkest corners of the earth. Some are well known, others long forgotten, but all belong to the same indomitable band of torch-bearers. Join a few of these heroes as they face cannibals, battle slave traders, and care for sick enemies, always with one mission at the forefront--to serve their Lord and bring others into His light. Volume 3 in this four part series is titled "THE PATHFINDERS OF AFRICA" and explores the lives of David Livingstone, Khama, George Grenfell, Alexander Mackay, Henry Martyn, Mary Slessor and others. |
|
Missionary Heroes: Volume 4The final book in the Missionary Heroes series, Volume 4, "HEROINES AND HEROES OF PLATEAU AND DESERT" explores the lives of Abdallah and Sabat, Henry Martyn, William Ambrose Shedd, E.D. Cushman, Archibald Forde and others. |

Wambu: Journey To ManhoodThe final book in the Wambu trilogy! Saved by Hassewiets and nursed back to health at the mission, Wambu learns more about Jesus. But the powerful grip of the old witchcraft lingers in the boy's heart... Wambu feels caught between the compassion of the new religion and the tyranny of the old. Playing on Wambu's lingering superstition and fear, some distant relative cannibals try to force Wambu to guide an attack on the mission. Just in time he escapes to help thwart the attack... |
