A Christmas Memory: One Christmas, and The Thanksgiving Visitor
by Truman CapoteAvailable for the first time in a single volume are the three holiday stories that Truman Capote regarded as among his greatest works of short fiction. Two of these childhood memoirs--"A Christmas Memory" and "The Thanksgiving Visitor"--center on the author's early years with a family of distant relatives in rural Alabama. Both pay loving tribute to an eccentric old-maid cousin, Miss Sook Faulk, who became his best friend. In "A Christmas Memory," Miss Sook, Buddy (the narrator), and their dog, Queenie, celebrate the yuletide in a hilariously tipsy state. In the poignant reminiscence "One Christmas," six-year-old Buddy journeys to New Orleans for a reunion with his estranged father that shatters many illusions. And in "The Thanksgiving Visitor," Miss Sook invites the school bully, Odd Henderson--called by Buddy "the meanest human creature in my experience"--to Thanksgiving dinner. These three heartwarming classics are all distinguished by Capote's delicate interplay of childhood sensibility and recollective vision. For all ages.

Christian Science (Classics To Go)
by Mark TwainChristian Science is a 1907 book by the American writer Mark Twain (1835–1910). The book is a collection of essays Twain wrote about Christian Science, beginning with an article that was published in Cosmopolitan in 1899. Although Twain was interested in mental healing and the ideas behind Christian Science, he was hostile towards its founder, Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910). Twain's first article about Christian Science was published in Cosmopolitan in 1899. A humorous work of fiction, it describes how he fell over a cliff while walking in Austria, breaking several bones. A Christian Science practitioner who lived nearby was sent for, but could not attend immediately and so undertook to provide an "absent healing."
The Christian Life: A Geography of God (Foundations of Christian Faith)
by Michael L. LindvallAn easy to read book which teaches how to understand, grow and strengthen a Christian faith. From the book: "Others journeys may be, but no faith journey is solitary. We are becoming who we are by the grace not only of God, but of those who have accompanied us, pointed out the way to us, given us directions when utterly lost and lifted us up when we stumble. ... In my experience, few people have been argued into believing in God. Nevertheless, I have begun this book with a whiff of apologia"apologetics" in the old sense of the word: a reasonable argument for believing in something beyond yourself. Those of us contemplating the journey, even those who are already on the road, need to remember that it is a reasonable quest after all. At the far end of this volume, I have included many pages that have about them something of a faith manual specific, even "practical" suggestions for how you might live in faith from one day to the next. In my experience however, there are as many ways to be a Christian as there are Christians. This book is divided into three sections: "Leaving for Home," "The Way," and "Life on the Road." The first, in the tradition of apologia, offers an existential response to the obvious query, "Why go anywhere at all, spiritually speaking?" The second section names what I have come to believe to be the road. This is the way found in the God that the Christian tradition has long understood (as best mere mortals might understand Divinity) by the ancient map of God called the Trinity. In the eloquent and ancient terms of Trinitarian theology, the "stranger come to town" becomes "the knowable stranger" and not quite a stranger at all. The last and largest section describes life on the road as I and other pilgrims have known it. Here are traveling companions to be met; I will introduce you to some of those who have helped me find my way. In these pages are mile-markers and road signs, warnings of perilous curves, refreshment for the weary, and notice of lovely things to be seen along the way by watchful eyes."

Christian Heroes: Rescuer of Precious Gems
by Janet Hazel Benge Geoffrey Francis Benge"Amy Carmichael stood on the deck of the steamer, waving good-bye once again to her old friend Robert Wilson. How could she have known she would never see him or the British Isles again? Amy was certain God had called her to India. Indeed! India would be home for the rest of her life." Amy's life was marked by a simple, determined obedience to God, regardless of circumstances or consequences. Her story and legacy are stunning reminders of the impact of one person who will fear God and nothing else. Driven by love and compassion, and sustained by faith and determination, Amy Carmichael defied the cruel barriers of India's caste system. The story of this young woman from Northern Ireland is a brilliant, sparkling example of God's love generously poured out to "the least of these among us."
