Hebrews Through New Eyes: Christ and His Rivals
by Douglas WilsonIf we want to study our Bibles under the pleasure of God, we should not bring to the text certain a priori assumptions about what God can and cannot tell us, as well as assumptions about the ways in which he is permitted to tell us. We must learn from Scripture how to handle Scripture. And so this is an area where we must be willing to grow. The imagination must not be flighty--it must be disciplined by the Scriptures and by the mind of Christ. And as we are taught by Scripture, we should not be surprised when we learn some things we were not expecting to learn.

The Sugar-Candy Heart
by Dorothy Maas[From the front dust jacket flap:] "Katie would never forget the special Christmas when she longed to own the candy heart she had admired for such a long time in Miss Tillie's shop. That was the year when she and Miss Tillie were faced with the problem of providing gifts for the Wise Men to carry. That was also the year Katie hoped there might be a miracle in the Christmas Eve pageant--a real Baby in the manger--if she believed in it with all her heart. Her miracle did come about in an unexpected way, and though it was over in a fleeting second, the memory was something she would always cherish--much longer, she realized, than an actual possession. Dorothy Maas has re-created a time of traditional pleasures and with humor and simplicity has told of a child's joy in bringing to life the true spirit of Christmas." Images are described. A wonderful read alone or read aloud book for children 12 and under.

Utopian Communities in America 1680-1880 (Dover Books on History, Political and Social Science)
by Mark HollowayOriginally entitled Heavens on Earth, this book provides an overview of utopian communities in the thirteen colonies and in the United States. It begins with Utopian movements in Europe and explores how the New World provided rich ground where idealistic communities could put down roots. The most successful utopian communities had strong religious precepts and often were controlled by charismatic leaders. United by a common belief system and purpose, members of the community shared their material possessions and worked for what they believed to be a common good. With tongue in cheek humor that reveals the failings of leaders and ideology, the author examines such communities as Ephrata, New Harmony, Brook Farm, the Shaker societies, and many more.

Forever Ours: Real Stories of Immortality and Living from a Forensic Pathologist
by Janis Amatuzio[From the Book Jacket] As a physician, forensic pathologist, and coroner for several Minnesota counties, I have had the extraordinary privilege of caring for families and their loved ones when death comes suddenly, unexpectedly, or traumatically. My job is to speak for the dead, to solve the mystery of "What happened?" However, I have occasionally been faced with mysteries I cannot solve or explain. These experiences always baffle me, partly because as a scientist I seek to reach a reasonable degree of medical certainty, a rational explanation. But I have come to realize that for some experiences there is no explanation, just a deep knowing that I have encountered the Divine. - JANIS AMATUZIO, MD
