"A vibrant and truly beautiful picture book... in which nature is personified and can shine in all its magnificence. Aisato and Njie's combined artistic expression calls forth both nature's and life's power and vulnerability, united in something so natural and wondrous as sleep. I am absolutely certain that this both sensual and hypnotic picture book will become a favorite for thousands of children." --Dagsavisen (Norway) Children sleep. Grown-ups sleep. Animals sleep. And the seasons of the year sleep too. Soon You'll Be Sleeping is a goodnight book about nature's seasons as they sleep and awaken, sleep and awaken through the year. Children listening and reading will be lulled by the rhymes and the whimsical pictures of nature's dreamy beauty. Spring sleeps in wintertime, beneath the frozen snow, Among the roots and seeds and tiny things that grow. Spring dreams of bugs and spiders creeping on the grass Of tadpoles swiftly swimming and buds that open fast. Of bees that flit from bloom to bloom, all day without a pause, Of ladybugs and brooks that babble as the cold ice thaws. Spring is up and leaping now, so happy in the sun. The world has come alive, the transformation has begun. Spring wakes up after winter. This is always true. But in the springtime summer sleeps. Soon you'll be sleeping too. Soon You'll Be Sleeping has been lauded by Norway's press for its wonderfully rendered illustrations and the lyrical beauty of the text, which link the memories and experiences of each season. It's a shimmering goodnight book for all sleepyheads.

What does it look like to live a flourishing, messy, wonderful life together? As parents, we’re tasked with nurturing and guiding our children, even as we navigate our own wonderings about faith. In the overwhelm and constant demands of life, is it possible to tend to our own souls and to our family’s flourishing? With tender curiosity and contemplative wisdom, Every Season Sacred is a weekly invitation to grow spiritually alongside our children. Blending thoughtful musings and practical resources, author Kayla Craig meets parents right where they are, offering honest and hopeful reflections for every season of the parenting journey; encouragement to parent with intention and imagination, presence and purpose; and open-ended discussion prompts and prayers to explore and practice as a family. Every Season Sacred is an invitation to ask big questions, embrace faithful rhythms, and experience God’s mysterious, loving presence together.

As you parent your children and explore your questions together, may God reveal sacred moments to you—in each season of your life.

The first book in the Seasons of the Heart series is set in Connecticut in 1888, the year of what historians call “The White Hurricane.” The story reveals the power of God’s love to change lives and heal hearts. Summer Dream tells of a young couple’s love for each other and the obstacles that stand in their path of happiness. Until Nathan Reed resolves his anger with God and his family, he has no hopes of courting Rachel Winston, the minister’s daughter. As the daughter of a small-town minister in Connecticut, Rachel Winston believes the only way she’ll ever have a husband is to visit her aunt in Boston for the social season until Nathan Reed arrives in town. Although attracted to Rachel, Nathan avoids her because he has no desire to become involved with a Christian after experiences with his own family. When a devastating blizzard paralyzes New England, Nathan is caught in it and lies near death in the Winston home. Through the ministrations and tender care of Rachel and her mother, Nathan learns a lesson in love and forgiveness that leads him back to his home in the South. Before he can declare his love for Rachel, he must make amends with his own family. Will he return to Connecticut before Rachel leaves her home to head west as a missionary in Oklahoma Territory?

A Dream So Big is the story of Steve Peifer, a corporate manager who once oversaw 9,000 computer software consultants, who today helps provide daily lunches for over 20,000 Kenyan school children in thirty-five national public schools, and maintains solar-powered computer labs at twenty rural African schools. Steve and his wife, Nancy, were enjoying a successful management career with one of America’s high tech corporate giants during the dot-com boom of the 1990’s when, in 1997, he and his wife Nancy discovered they were pregnant with their third child. Tragically, doctors said a chromosomal condition left their baby “incompatible with life.” The Peifers only spent 8 days with baby Stephen before he died. Seeking to flee the pain, Steve and Nancy began a pilgrimage that thrust them into a third-world setting where daily life was often defined by tragedy—drought, disease, poverty, hunger, and death. They didn’t arrive in the service of any divine calling, but the truth of their surroundings spoke to their troubled hearts. A short-term, 12-month mission assignment as dorm parents for a Kenyan boarding school turned this ordinary man into the most unlikely internationally recognized hero, and his story will inspire you to pursue similar lives of service.
