Strangers Like Angels chronicles the journeys of Alec and Jan Forman to far and distant lands as they embrace their pioneering spirit. Following adventures in Canada, Antarctica and the Sultanate of Oman they set off on the original gap year in the seventies. Travelling in their Land Rover, they use only a map and compass to navigate through the Sahara Desert and tropical rainforests in Africa, back to Europe and out to Asia via the Hindu Kush, and on to the Himalayas. They grapple with the realities of poverty and yet experience surprising hospitality and welcome from unlikely sources. In the confined space of their vehicle, Alec and Jan learn what it takes to support and sustain themselves...
An uplifting rhyming tale about a little green frog who discovers that he is best at being no one but himself. On the edge of a pond past the town and beyond, sat a frog with a frown feeling terribly down. A little green frog despairs as he compares himself with other animals, but an enlightening conversation swiftly turns his frown upside down. The story reminds us that we were lovingly made by God and should not compare ourselves with others, but recognise that He made us special, with our own gifts and abilities to use and enjoy. Filled with colourful hand-painted illustrations and singsong verse, this picture book is bound to delight both young and old alike!
