![]() My boys are usually begging me to read "at least one more". My boys and I read a story from it every night and really enjoy it. I wish there was a better way to help children learn the ACTUAL words of the Bible, while still making it easy for them to understand. It is neat to have the story in language that children can understand, but sometimes it almost feels silly. ![]() The only thing I do not really care for about this book is how the author changes the words of the Bible story. The illustrations are very colorful and the titles are even written in words that children can understand. I really enjoy that and that makes it really easy for me to discuss Jesus with my children. At the end of every story, the author ties in how Jesus relates to that particular story. The stories are put into words that little ones can understand and just like the book claims, every story whispers Jesus' name. Beautifully written and illustrated, The Jesus Story Book Bible invites children to discover for themselves that Jesus is at the center of God's great story of salvation-and at the center of their story too. I bought this childrens Bible after reading a rave review of it and we have not. Jesus is like the missing piece in a puzzle-the piece that makes all the other pieces fit together.

The idea that she was ever “just a housewife” sounds crudely reductionist. During her lifetime, she was equally well known for her best-selling memoirs about her boisterous family, which included four children, a menagerie of pets, and - not incidentally - her husband, literary critic and Bennington faculty member Stanley Edgar Hyman. In addition to “The Lottery,” one of the most anthologized stories in American fiction, she has been most celebrated for The Haunting of Hill House (1959) and We Have Always Lived in the Castle (1962), masterpieces in the American Gothic tradition of Hawthorne and Poe. Between 1941, when her first story appeared in The New Republic, and her premature death of heart failure in 1965 at age 48, Jackson published six novels and dozens of stories that count as some of the most original, indelible fiction of her time. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() more of the same.” Armed with insights from psychoanalysts and Sex and the City (where “every character is subjected to humiliations related to being single”), she contends with the stigmas “uncoupled” individuals face, such as that their singleness means there’s “something wrong” with them. However, countless dates later, Lutkin concluded that “on the other side of trying. After confiding to her coupled friends at a dinner that she might not date anymore, their responses left her feeling “out of place.” At 32 years old and in a culture “built around partnership,” she writes, “the hardest part of being single wasn’t the quality of my life, it was really this lack of language to articulate the meaning of my own solitude.” Determined to resolve her inner conflict, she joined a gym and dove into dating apps. Essayist Lutkin debuts with a brilliant reframing of the cultural narrative around singledom with an impassioned defense of its pleasures. ![]() ![]() ![]() The ITV / PBS Masterpiece television mini-series Home Fires, now in its second season, is based on the book Jambusters by Julie Summers.

I learned about a famous secondary school my parents could not possibly afford however, I believed that if I traded precious hours of sleep for studying, I would somehow find my way there. A love of reading led me to spend my meager breakfast money on newspapers that opened my eyes to a world I was determined to experience. In my remote Ghanaian village, most parents were illiterate and so did not understand the value of education. Though no one in Boadua had ever progressed beyond elementary school, I was willing to endure any hardship in pursuit of what any reasonable person would consider a pipe dream: a world-class education. My story begins when I was a young boy growing up in a family so large and impoverished that no amount of backbreaking labor could keep our bellies full.
