49 Days
by Agnes LeeDay 1 Gotta get up. Gotta keep moving. This map – it says I have to cross over here. Wait, what’s that…? And so begins a graphic novel story unlike any other: 49 Days. In Buddhist tradition, a person must travel for forty-nine days after they die, before they can fully cross over. Here in this book, readers travel with one Korean American girl, Kit, on her journey, while also spending time with her family and friends left behind. Agnes Lee has captivated readers across the world for years with her illustrations for the New York Times Metropolitan Diary. Her debut graphic novel is an unforgettable story of death, grief, love, and how we keep moving forward. P R A I S E ★ "49 Days is an unusual, profoundly moving graphic novel whose elegance belies its complexity and whose emotional impact only grows upon rereading." —BookPage (starred) ★ "A gorgeous, resonating, even mystical creation with little text, overflowing with unsaid feelings... Gently, nudgingly, Lee brilliantly intertwines the past, present, and future." —Booklist (starred) ★ "A moving portrayal of mortality and its aftermath." —Kirkus (starred) "Middle and high school readers will relate to the universal experiences of love, loss, and family tradition." —School Library Journal "Expressive, fluid…an exemplar of what it means to trust the audience." —Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books "A deeply moving exploration of life after death, making peace with regret and life’s inevitabilities, and learning how to move on." —Publishers Weekly
49 Days Back to Better: Change Your Trajectory for a New Outlook on Life
by Tim HillIt seems much of what society thought was normal about life and the world has changed.A tiny unseen virus has shut down businesses, crippled nations, and taken the lives of precious people. Those lives can never be replaced. And then there is the petty stuff like finding a single roll of toilet paper at the supermarket. People are wearing masks and gloves to protect themselves and others from this unseen enemy potentially hiding inside of friends, neighbors, and family members. Normal just isn’t normal anymore. Normal is just a place in people’s minds that everyone seems to want to get back to as soon as possible. Some people are even calling it a new normal, but what is that?As the concept of going back to better is considered, Dr. Tim Hill, Tim Enochs, and Adam Enochs fully understand that some losses can never be replaced, and in that realm, there is no going back to better. In 49 Days Back to Better, they focus on areas where there is a choice whether to go back to normal in those areas or find the way back to something better.
4D Impact: Smash Barriers Like a Smart Church
by Olu BrownThe 4D Church takes a critical and inspirational look at four aspects of 21st century church ministry: Culture, Hospitality, Worship and Technology. Each of these aspects is key for developing vital churches and healthy church leaders. The author uses real life lessons from the 11-year journey of Impact Church, which is currently #5 out of the 100 fastest growing United Methodist congregations in the United States, and examples from churches and the market place, to inform, equip, and inspire the reader. The 4D Church offers: a diagnostic tool in each chapter to determine the current health and status of the reader’s church, real time inspiration from practitioners who are experiencing health and growth, guidance for readers to discern their level of fitness for their church assignment—is the leader/reader well-matched, or mismatched?, and guidance for readers to determine if their church has reached a point of irreversible decline.
