Josiah And Julia Go To Church

Josiah and Julia love to go to church. They love to venerate the icons, light candles, and eat the blessed bread. Sometimes they behave very well--but sometimes they make mistakes. Little ones can follow Josiah and Julia through the Liturgy and learn how even the youngest child can honor God by behaving properly in church.

In the late eighteen hundreds when Shirks grandmother was a young person, women’s choices were limited. Frances “knew” she was meant to be a nurse, but, being young and unmarried, society said “no”. Her friend Sally, granddaughter of slaves, “knew” she could be a great teacher, but there was little chance for her to get training. Reading this book in a group and then having a discussion about it takes courage. It’s not easy to talk about race and gender issues.

We are living in one of the most crucial times in the history of our nation. Our financial security has been shaken, our national security threatened, and we are at war in the Middle East. In the American Church, the grip of religion, false worship, and disunity is leaving us as tasteless salt to the world. The plum line of truth is increasingly becoming more skewed to fit the agendas of ambitious ministry. However, there is a generation rising up and crying out to know God in a real way. They are not about "doing church," but about glorifying God. These young leaders will lay a foundation of true change during a time of real persecution and trial by fire. We, the church, must embrace this Josiah spirit, crown them with authority, and support them as they restore true worship in the church. A fiery windstorm is coming that will scorch the flesh and expose the heart. Listen to the winds as they whisper what is to come. From its lips and out of its throat bellows the heart of God, this is Josiah's Cry: The Rising Revolution. Can you hear it?

With “clever storytelling” shifting between past and present, the final Homer Kelly mystery has the scholar/sleuth solving the puzzle of a missing church (Booklist). Somehow, against all odds, Homer Kelly has become famous. After decades toiling in academic obscurity, the Harvard professor has a book on the bestseller list. To capitalize on his sudden fame, Homer’s editor demands another book, and fast. Homer is working on Steeplechase, a tour of churches in and around his little patch of Massachusetts, and at his editor’s request he goes searching for some ancient gossip to spice up his new work. What he finds is a baffling Reconstruction-era mystery. Hot-air balloons, nursery rhymes, and the great chestnut tree in the village of Nashoba all form part of Homer’s ancestors’ thrilling story. As the tale shifts between 1868 and the present day, a picture emerges of a small-town Massachusetts that’s hardly changed, and a secret which, if it weren’t for Homer, may have stayed buried for all time.
