A Pirate's Twelve Days of Christmas
On the first day of Christmas, a gift was sent to me, a parrot in a palm tree! Ahoy mateys, Christmas is coming and even pirates celebrate the holiday!

A brave cabin boy receives marvelously mysterious gifts for each of the 12 days he is left alone to guard the pirate ship: 12 cannons blastin', 9 mermaids singin', 6 Jolly Rogers, and so on, but who are they from? With impeccable rhythm and a lively sense of fun, Philip Yates and Sebastià Serra create a delightful world all their own.

Listen to the Heart
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control. These are the fruits of the Spirit promised to us in Galatians 5. In this collection of true stories from workshops throughout the country, Bobbie Reed leads readers to ponder how these fruits have been experienced in everyday lives of contemporary Christians, and to reflect on how they can be nurtured to further their own spiritual growth. The book is divided into nine sections, one for each of the fruits of the Spirit, with nine or more meditations on each gift. The stories have been collected and used for over twenty years in the author's seminars and conferences across the country. This is an excellent resource for small group study, Christian storytelling, and sermon preparation.l
A Pirate's Night Before Christmas
Young mateys will find plenty of holiday joy in this humorous, colorful, and thoroughly piratical version of the beloved Clement C. Moore classic. On this ship of mischievous brigands—who have visions of treasure chests, not sugarplums, dancing in their heads—you wouldn’t expect a visit from nice St. Nick. Instead, here comes Sir Peggedy, with his peg leg and hook arm, cracking his whip and driving eight giant seahorses: Salty, Scurvy, Sinbad, Mollie, Cutthroat, Cross-Eyes, Roger, and Jolly. Philip Yates’ rollicking rhymes and Sebastià Serra’s sprightly, fun-filled pictures—featuring whimsically multicolored seahorses, stockings hung on the ship’s bowsprit with tar, child-friendly pirates, and a complete treasure map—turn this Christmas perennial into a jubilant celebration!

Fear & Hope
The collapse of the steel industry in the 1970s hit Western Pennsylvania hard. Hundreds of thousands lost their livelihoods, population sank, schools closed, and despair ruled many. In the midst of these trials, the destinies of three who came of age during that time Philip Bennet, Liam Conti, and Ruth O'Brien were determined by the choice they made: that of fear or that of hope. As the three grapple with their situation and their yearning for significance, they discover their fight is part of a much larger struggle. Excerpt from the preface Barack Obama referring to Pennsylvanians, April 2008: "It's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to peo...
