Swords and Shadows
God loves you. You should know this already. Satan hates you. Did you know that? Perhaps you understand this simply from living in this world, even if you have not heard it preached to you. Satan hates you and, with all the demons, is dedicating his existence to bringing your life into ruin. Sorry, but it's true, and you need to know, as I wish I had known when I was young. We are in a spiritual battle with Satan and his demons. God, however, is fighting with and for us, and His grace and strength are unmatched, and will appear in our lives in miraculous ways.I wasn't born with a sword in my hand, but I wish I had been. It would have spared me a lot of pain. Not only would I have known, in my youth, that I was being attacked and provoked by Satan to reject God and embrace a life of sin, but I would have also known that the Church has a storehouse of spiritual weapons and is eagerly trying to get them into my hands. Unarmed, I turned away from God and embraced a worldly life which led to misery and pain - until God appeared and changed the story.As a high school Theology teacher, I have desired to give the real Truth to my students. I pray this book accomplishes the same. Let your eyes be opened. See the truth about your life and let Christ set you free from the dragon and his shadows. Charles D.

New Christmas
Before there was jolly ol' St. Nick, or Santa Claus and his belly that shakes like a bowl full of jelly. Before Rudolph and Mrs. Claus, before Donner and Blitzen, there was simply a man with a big heart who couldn't decide which he enjoyed more, to be kind or to be generous? So he decided to be both! New Christmas imagines for us the story of St. Nicholas visiting to take an audit of how his beloved holiday is now going, only to realize it may have drifted from the reasons he originally hoped. His mission is to make Christmas new again, and he needs lots of help to rekindle the spirit of how it all began.
The Parthenon
The story of an inspired building and an inspirational civilization. The Parthenon is more than a magnificent building. Every marble statue, every graceful column, is an expression of a civilization whose three great values still speak to us today: Democracy. At a time of godlike rulers, ordinary citizens voted to build the Parthenon. Humanism. The Parthenon's art honored Athens' water carriers as well as its gods. Balance. The Parthenon's aesthetic brought lightness and grace to height and mass. The Parthenon tells of the rise of Athens -- from the religion that nurtured it, through the wars that tested it, to the democracy that ennobled it -- culminating in the construction of the great temple on the Acropolis. The book not only captures the human stories, but also vividly illustrates the technical details behind the construction, from quarrying of the marbles to carving of the exquisite frieze. To look at the Parthenon is to see Athens. To see Athens, is to see ourselves. Wonders of the World series The winner of numerous awards, this series is renowned for Elizabeth Mann's ability to convey adventure and excitement while revealing technical information in engaging and easily understood language. The illustrations are lavishly realistic and accurate in detail but do not ignore the human element. Outstanding in the genre, these books are sure to bring even the most indifferent young reader into the worlds of history, geography, and architecture. "One of the ten best non-fiction series for young readers." -- Booklist
Galatians for Teen
The Epistle to Galatians, written by St. Paul, is a fascinating letter that discusses the complex themes and issues that the early church Christians faced. Throughout this Epistle, Paul discusses his apostolic authority, the Old Covenant and New Covenant, the work of the Holy Spirit and the life of faith. As we read through Galatians together, we will see Paul's passion in his ministry and his message of staying true to the gospel during a period of uncertainty for Galatia, as Jewish members of the law attempt to infiltrate the Church with old Jewish practices. Yet the beauty of this epistle lies in its relevance to today's society. In an age where information is mass-produced and messages of truth are often contradictory, Paul's letter is a triumphant reminder to stay true to the foundation given to us through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Loudmouth
A National Jewish Book Awards Finalist! Both a love letter to America and a stirring rallying cry for the country to live up to the ideals on which it was founded, this propulsive biography from National Book Award Finalist and "nonfiction maestro (Horn Book)" Deborah Heiligman chronicles the extraordinary life and work of groundbreaking political activist Emma Goldman.★ "Heiligman's latest . . . solidifies her as one of the absolute best in the business . . . Loudmouth is a master class." --Booklist, starred review Emma Goldman made trouble her whole life. The first time was by accident. Her birth (in Lithuania, in 1869) angered her father. He had wanted a dutiful son, not a headstrong daughter. The other times were on purpose. When she arrived in America as a young woman, she loved its democratic ideals but was appalled by its hypocrisy. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness seemed to be only for those at the top. Something had to be done for everyone else. Someone had to speak up. Soon Emma was delivering rousing speeches on topics like workers' rights, feminism, and the atrocities of capitalism. This is the story of Emma's complex love affair with America. It's also the story of her many romances with the men she met while trying to change America. Emma believed marriage was disempowering to women and lived her life according to the principles of free love. Emma called herself an anarchist and a freethinker. Her critics called her a troublemaker, a "loudmouth." But sometimes you need to be loud, if you want your voice to be heard. Deborah Heiligman is a National Book Award finalist, a YALSA Nonfiction Award winner, and a Printz Honor winner. In Loudmouth she tells the extraordinary true story of a woman who was a fearsome fighter for change in her complicated new country--and a complicated human being in her own right. This is an essential read for young people--or for anyone--who wants to use their voice to make the world a better place.

The Doll Test
Four dolls. Two psychologists. One landmark court case. During the first half of the twentieth century, schoolchildren in many parts of the United States were segregated--Black children and white children could not legally attend the same schools. In their so-called doll test, pioneering Black psychologists Kenneth and Mamie Clark investigated the effects of segregation by presenting children with two Black and two white baby dolls. "Show me the doll that you like best," they said. "Show me the doll that looks like you."Their research showed that segregation harmed Black children. When the Brown v. Board of Education case came along to challenge school segregation, Kenneth Clark testified about the doll test. His testimony was compelling, and in 1954, the US Supreme court ultimately declared school segregation illegal.Narrated by dolls, this book-length poem by acclaimed author Carole Boston Weatherford introduces Kenneth and Mamie Clark and their powerful research to young readers.

Most of all, she's tired of having to give up her seat on the bus whenever a white person tells her to. She wants freedom NOW! But what can one teenager do? On a bus ride home from school one day, young Claudette takes a stand for justice and refuses to get up from her seat--nine months before Rosa Parks will become famous for doing the same.

Love Is Hard Work: The Art and Heart of Corita Kent
The story of how a Catholic nun became one of the twentieth century's most significant artists and activists is brought to life in a colorful picture book biography. "To be fully alive is to work for the common good." --Corita Kent Frances Kent always loved making things. When she joined the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, she took the name Corita--meaning little heart--and devoted her life to what mattered most to her: art and religion. As an art teacher, Sister Corita emphasized practice and process over the final product and taught her students to experiment and break the rules. As a religious person, she turned her faith into concrete action and spoke out about the injustices she saw in the world. In the height of post-war consumerist culture, Corita, a contemporary of Andy Warhol, turned advertising on its head and wrote a new kind of scripture. Complimented by Victoria Tentler-Krylov's vibrant illustrations that--like Corita's work--incorporate typography and ads, author Dan Paley paints a portrait of the little-known but immensely influential pop-art nun whose messages are just as relevant today as they were in years past.

Why Dogs Don't Moo
Have you ever wondered why dogs don't moo? Or why acorns don't grow on pine trees? When God designed each of His creations, He didn't just decide what each one would be, but also what it could never be. Since God never changes, neither does His plan for creation. Nature proves this over and over again. We see this every time we pick a lemon from a lemon tree or see an animal cuddling a young one of its own kind. The world's rapidly changing views and opinions on identity and gender can cause confusion in children. But by relying on God's truth, children are given the foundation to develop confidence in knowing God makes all as they are. Nature reflects God's creation and reminds us of the everlasting truth found in God's Word. The gentle reminder that we are the way God made us, no matter how we may view ourselves, sets the framework for a child to understand this important biblical viewpoint. Whimsical storytelling, imaginative illustrations, and deliberately silly scenarios will lay groundwork for biblical truth while entertaining readers of all ages.
