"What is Worth While?" This fascinating little book, written in 1893, starts out with, "Only one life to live! We all want to do our best with it. We all want to make the most of it. How can we best get hold of it? How can we accomplish the most with the energies and powers at our command? What is worth while?" It was penned by Anne Robertson (Brown) Lindsay, the first woman to earn a doctorate from Penn State University. She wrote a number of books on theological topics, most of which were published in the early-1900s.This particular book is both inspirational and motivational. It addresses the questions faced by students as they graduate from college, and was actually given as a speech to the Philadelphia branch of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae.
What if Eve had said, "No?" What if another had taken the fruit and only half of humanity had fallen? A breath-taking vision of the heart of God and humankinds' unbroken relationship with Him in the Garden of Eden. When Eve rejects the serpent's temptation, all of creation breathes a sigh of relief, but years later another is asked the same question and their answer will tear Paradise apart. How will the fallen relate to the unfallen? And how will God treat those who have spurned His perfect will? A magnificent story of sin and grace, relationship and rupture, which reveals the beauty of God and the misery of life lived apart from Him. But always there is the promise of redemption!

A wild seascape, a distant island, a full moon. Gradually the island grows nearer until we land on a primeval wilderness, rich in vegetation and huge, strange beasts. Time passes and things do not go well for the island. Civilization rises as towers of stone and metal and smoke, choking the undergrowth and the creatures who once moved through it. This is not a happy story and it will not have a happy ending. Working in his distinctive, monochromatic linocut style, Stanley Donwood carves out a mesmerising, stark parable on environmentalism and the history of humankind.
