9,005 | 0 | After seeing her father and Tomo injured in battle, and the rebel forces defeated, Hana begins questioning what the prophecy means for her. Shouldn't God have granted her victory? While Hana loses hope, Pastor James and Brittany pray for her, asking God to send her protection and wisdom to make it through the trials she will face. Those prayers are needed, as Ardath is ready to seize the power Urn'Ado has promised. As Ardath moves to pick up the Spirit Sword, Tomo stirs and Ardath is moved to remember how Tomo saved him in battle. To distract Ardath, Urn'Ado hands the sword to Ardath, and tells him of the power now in Urn'Ado's possession, even giving him a display of what he can now do. Ardath becomes intoxicated with power himself. Outside the castle, Hana, now feeling the power of the prayers lifted up for her, begins to see the glint of armor on her own body, the spiritual armor of God. Reenergized, she sees Ardath's armor is worthless, and that she and the remaining rebels can defeat Ardath at last. Hana and Ardath face off in battle, but it is soon clear Hana's armor is more powerful than the metal Ardath has trusted in. Ardath is gravely wounded, and Tomo comes to his side, just as Urn'Ado flees Argon Falls. Tomo then becomes Prince Palon, and he and Ardath--also restored to his human form--reconcile before Ardath dies of his wounds. The veil is lifted from the land, and Palon is crowned king. As the people head to the castle, several figures come out to greet them, including Hana's father.Bud Rogers is a cartoonist and editor and has been very active in the Christian comics community for the past fifteen years.

And even though Gran tells her to trust the one who watches robins and sparrows, Tressa knows everything from weather to raccoons could mean trouble. To get her mind off the eggs outside, Gran brings Tressa inside to make Easter eggs the Pennsylvania Dutch way: blowing out the insides, dyeing them, and fashioning paper into wings, heads, and tails for the egg bodies. It is while they are working that Gran tells Tressa a story. At the time of the Crucifixion, it was the small brown robin that pulled a thorn from Jesus crown to spare him pain; the blood from the wound gave the bird its red breast. The next day, the baby robins have hatched, and Tressa knows whom to thank for their safety. Drawing from Pennsylvania Dutch tradition, this warm story incorporates intergenerational affection, religious faith, and the appeal of legends. Sturdy artwork brings all the elements together.

9,029 | 0 | "This is the day that the Lord has made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24 forms the basis of this simple picture book about a young girl who finds God in sweet, everyday moments. From her good morning kiss and the playful games she plays with Dad to the bedtime story her mother reads to her, everything is an opportunity to rejoice, and she "gives thanks to Jesus" before falling asleep. Written in rhyming couplets, the short, simple text blends the scriptural refrain with immediate details from a child's world. Bates' pencil-and-watercolor illustrations add interest to the basic words with expressive scenes of a brown-haired girl playing and giving praise in her snug home. A good sleepy-time choice, this will partner well with Eleanor Farjeon's Morning Has Broken (1996), which is also inspired by Psalm 118:24. Gillian EngbergCopyright American Library Association.

9,051 | 20 | Girls have always formed strong bonds, especially in tough times. This sisterhood of women is celebrated in the latest devotional from Faithgirlz. Real Girls of the Bible uses the stories of thirty authentic Bible women to illustrate the power of the girlfriend community to surround and support girls as they become real women of God, while emphasizing each girl's individuality and God's special plan for her. Featuring women from both the Old and New Testaments--including Esther, Leah, Sarah, Ruth, Martha, Mary, and Elizabeth--each devotional centers around the woman's faith-journey and includes a scripture verse, prayer, suggestions for further reading, and even an item called Body Talk intended to promote self-esteem. The text is sprinkled with Fun Facts (Miriam led the singing of the first song of worship ever recorded in Scripture!) to keep girls engaged and interested. In every story, girls see God's holy character and glimpse their own potential in relationship with Him, while learning the qualities they must develop--such as relationship, authenticity, and loving-kindness--on the way to becoming real girls themselves.Mona Hodgson is the author of nearly 30 children's books and also writes 19th century historical fiction. In addition to writing and speaking, Mona likes to read mysteries and love stories, hike Arizona, travel to Africa, play table games, and play Wii Tennis. She lives in central Arizona where she spies roadrunners, quail, cottontail rabbits, and even an occasional skunk in her yard.; Title: Real Girls of the Bible: A Devotional (Faithgirlz!) | [

9,052 | 0 | Lucy has come a long way from that tomboy who wouldn't give pink the time of day. She's developed into an authentic tween who has learned that girls make great friends, that teamwork means more than stardom, and that God is real. But she's still Lucy. In the third book of the series, she runs headlong into some new--and some old--problems. Although Lucy has come to love and respect Inez and more than tolerate Mora, with school out for the summer, the three of them have more together time than anybody can stand! That worsens when the monsoon season keeps them cooped up in the house for three solid days without Dad to referee (he's stranded at the radio station). When Dad is stuck at the radio station without his assistant Luke, the new management finds out just how much Dad depends on his assistant and threaten to fire Lucy's father. Lucy is freaked out at the thought of moving. Plus it gives Aunt Karen more ammunition for her fight to have Lucy come and live with her in El Paso. That would be heinous enough, but Lucy just can't leave now, not with the soccer team making tremendous progress and Coach Auggy scheduling three unofficial games with neighboring teams during the summer to get them ready for the real soccer season in the fall. And not with Januarie getting into iffy territory with the new kids her own age that Lucy and her friends have encouraged her to hang out with so she'll leave them alone. Child Protective Services gets involved when Januarie gets in trouble, and Lucy has to be there for her, especially since this could affect her friend J.J. too. When the weather dries up, wild fires break out with a vengeance. A big one threatens Los Suenos. Myteriously, the only thing destroyed is the soccer field. The big developer who has tried to buy the property before swoops in for the kill. Lucy and her team have to convince the town to come together and restore the field, rather than give up and sell it. Meanwhile, Lucy, Mora, Dusty, Veronica, and Inez study Esther. Lucy grows even closer to God through her Book of Lists and her resonance with Esther, even though she was a girly-girl. That helps her not only save the soccer field, get Januarie out of trouble, and get herself an audition with the Olympic Development Program (without Aunt Karen's help), but it enables her to make a huge sacrifice for Dad and agree to live without him for six weeks while he goes to a special technology school for the blind in Alamogordo. That's going to mean having Aunt Karen come to live with her in the fall. But Lucy is the only one who can do this thing in this time and this place. Like Esther, she is willing to make the sacrifice.Nancy Rue has written over 100 books for girls, is the editor of the Faithgirlz Bible, and is a popular speaker and radio guest with her expertise in tween and teen issues. She and husband, Jim, have raised a daughter of their own and now live in Tennessee.; Title: Lucy's Perfect Summer (Faithgirlz / A Lucy Novel) | [

9,072 | 20 | Written in the humorous, gross style of the 2:52 line, designed to ignite the interest of boys. Bible Freaks & Geeks--This book helps boys to grow smarter, stronger, deeper, and cooler by showing them how hurtful name-calling can be. In a fun, engaging format, the book highlights biblical examples of machos, jocks, goons, wonks, slackers, airheads, and more. Through the biblical examples of characters who some would likely classify in these terms today, we learn what kind of people God has used throughout history to accomplish his plans. In Bible Freaks & Geeks we also discover that not only are people wrongfully labeled today by such general and unkind terms, but that even in ancient times, humans exhibited the same traits that we see today. Readers will learn more about the characters in the Bible, and also how to discern between descriptive labels and harmful stereotypes. Seriously Sick Bible Stuff--This book gives boys the lowdown on what living in ancient Israel was really like. In fun and engaging 2:52 style, it offers humorous, gross facts about day-to-day life in Bible times, shattering any illusions boys may have about how much easier things would have been if they had lived during Jesus' day. This book exposes boys to the truth: sleeping next to goats (and cleaning up after them in the morning!), eating food that was spiced because it was spoiled, drinking water that was probably unsafe, and using bathroom accommodations that made outhouses look good. Not to mention the tough, boring work kids had to do! Seriously Sick Bible Stuff helps boys understand the people of Jesus' time--making them grateful for the life God has given them today.

9,086 | 0 | A little boy narrates this rhyming story as he imagines what it would be like to be different animals. He imagines himself as a mouse, owl, squirrel, bird and cat, with the cat leading the narrative back to the boy in his bedroom, getting ready for bed. The concluding lines, the only religious content in the book, refer to God as father, creator and friend, thanking him for making the child who he is. The verse---just mundane rhymes about the way the animals move or where they live---has an old-fashioned, sing-song quality and isnt particularly interesting or creative. Soft-focus illustrations show traditional scenes of homes and a farm; there's some added interest for sharp-eyed young readers with a repeating device of a knitted scarf on each animal and blue-striped shirts on the boy and several animals. (The rusty-red squirrel in a striped shirt with 17 seeds hidden in his cheeks seems ready to run right off the page and find a more exciting story to star in.) The final illustration in the little boys room includes toys, a lamp and curtains echoing the other characters and their homes. The religious content in the last spread seems tacked on to fit this story into a particular slot rather than any meaningful effort to connect children with God. (Kirkus Reviews)'If I were a mouse, just as small as could be, I would make my house in a hole in a tree....' A child imagines what fantastic adventures might unfold if he were one of God's many amazing animals, but ultimately finds comfort and joy in being created a child of God with the blessed gift of imagination.; Title: If I Were a Mouse | [

("God has plans, can't wait to see,/"Whatever you grow up to be.") Life offers many paths to take, and the boy's juvenile dreams of being a prince, a football player, or a rock star eventually give way to graduating college, becoming a businessman, and then marrying and having a family of his own. Narrating in rhyming verse, the mother pledges support no matter which direction he chooses to pursue and revels in the wonder of possibilitiesartist, doctor, chef, astronaut, and farmer among themnow ahead for her grandchild. Appropriately toned scripture quotations caption each scene, further supporting the overall reassuring message of tenderness and joy from one generation to another.Joanna K. Fabicon, Los Angeles Public LibraryA mother rejoices in her new baby son and wonders, at each stage of his childhood, what God has in store. Prince? Fireman? Football player? Musician? Whatever You Grow Up to Be by renowned Christian author Karen Kingsbury is a picture book about trusting in Gods plan. Told in gentle rhyming verse and punctuated by scripture, Whatever You Grow Up to Be captures the wonder and faith of parents as they watch their child grow into manhood. The message in the uplifting narrative is reassuringly simple: that God has a path for our lives. Cheerful kid-appealing illustrations by Valeria Docampo show a baby boy passing through familiar milestones on his way to becoming a father himself. Footprints used in many of the scenes cleverly evoke an ongoing journey. Whatever You Grow Up to Be would make a calming bedtime read-aloud or a sweet gift for new parents.

9,095 | 0 | Wargin continues her series of alphabet books (K is for Kite: Gods Springtime Alphabet, 2010, etc.) with this exploration of summertime delights interwoven with a religious message. Each page includes the traditional format (B is for boat) in large type along with two or four rhyming lines in smaller type and a relevant illustration. God is included in the text in simple, relevant ways (God calms the seas), and there is no mention of Jesus, so the book could be used by a wider audience than just Christian readers. The rhyming text reinforces concepts of kind and cooperative behavior as well as presenting God as a powerful and loving force in the natural world. The references to God in the text are not preachy, and not every page mentions God, so the religious content flows naturally within the story. Bronsons vibrant, jazzy illustrations in ripe-fruit shades are filled with sunny skies, imaginative flowers and flowing lines that suggest that lively nature of happy summer days. The pictorial story follows a family and its spotted dog as they take part in traditional summer activities, but the illustrator makes this ode to summertime soar. Her paintings are filled with motion and bright colors, with children who look like they must be laughing and having a great time enjoying the outdoors. A sunny celebration.

9,096 | 0 | Readable and offering a pointed message to young girls about what they should expect of their suitors, there's nothing to dislike in Kingsbury's text, and the illustrations by Gabrielle Grimard are gorgeous. Appropriately fairy tale like and romantic, they are also rich and vivid. (Christian Childrens Book Review)Kingsbury, a bestselling author of adult inspirational fiction, appeals to a young audience in this original fairy tale with a faith-based message. Deciding that only a knight who treasured the princess for who she was on the inside is worthy of her hand, the king sets up a series of trials for his daughters would-be suitors, including essays on loyalty and faith. In the final challenge, the knights must imagine that they are carrying the princess and race their horses closest to the cliffs edge. Only the third and last night knight refuses to participate: I love the princess . . . I wouldnt take her anywhere near that cliff. Even by fairy-tale standards, the kings last test is an odd concept, but it ably illustrates Kingsburys strong message: True love always protects. Grimards cheerful, mixed-media artwork adheres closely to fairytale conventions, starting with the blond, blue-eyed princess, but the bright, attractive scenes will easily hold childrens attention. Families seeking picture books that directly address God and faith will welcome this offering. (Gillian Engberg, BOOKLIST)There was once a princess the most beautiful in all the land. The search is on! The king determines to find a young man worthy of the hand of the princess. The knights of the kingdom endure tests and challenges to show their courage and strength. But those qualities alone will not win the king's approval or the princess's heart. The right knight must prove his kindness and character . . . And the real meaning of true love.; Title: The Princess and the Three Knights | [

9,098 | 0 | Using exaggerated cartoon scenes provided by artist Jared Lee, this book provides comedic elements that youngsters can identify with. More importantly, it diffuses any worries or anxieties young children may have about having to 'go to school' during summer vacation. It makes VBS sound exciting and fun, and underscores the message that children can learn more about God there, too. Dr. Dennis E. Hensley, (www.christianbookpreviews.com)Our hero doubts his mother's sanity when she wants to send him to vacation Bible school. Who in their right mind would want to go to school during their vacation to study the Bible? But Mike Thaler and Jared Lee, creators of the beloved Black Lagoon series, have us rolling with laughter about misconceptions of VBS--dressing up with towels for turbans, acting out Bible stories, and walking on water.; Title: Vacation Bible Snooze (Tales from the Back Pew) | [
