Women of the Last Supper
Haven't you wondered what happened to the women who were with Jesus and the Twelve Disciples right before and right after the Last Supper? Wasn't the meal a family Passover Seder that included women and children? Sure it was, shares author Millie Nelson Samuelson in these inspiring memoir-like stories of the men, women and children of the Last Supper. Cover art by Jan VonBokel affirms this view of the Last Supper. The three previous editions are now out of print. What's new in this fourth edition (2012)? Prayer meditations for each chapter by Rev. Terry Rhine, the children's stories, study questions for small groups, and dramatization suggestions based on a decade of performing these vignettes in Millie's church, plus performance photos.
Jade Cross
NOTE: This complete edition of Jade Cross replaces the 2014 partial edition. SO WHO ARE the Stone Ten Keepers, and what do they have to do with the ancient Nestorian Monument in China? That's the question the Newquist family in author Millie's Yangtze Dragon Trilogy has been trying to discover for three generations. The Newquists' often exotic experiences take them through adventures and tragedies in these family-saga novels of Hungry River, Dragon Wall, and now Jade Cross, with settings in China, Taiwan, and the U.S.
Dragon Wall
For many Chinese and Westerners in the twentieth century, the Great Wall was just part of their daily lives. But for others, like Alfred and Meggie Newquist and the mysterious Stone Ten Keepers, the Wall was a powerful dragon-like presence in their lives. Their intriguing stories are told in Dragon Wall, a novel inspired by the author's own family. While a stand-alone, this novel is a sequel to Hungry River, and a prequel to Jade Cross.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
In addition to his great American classic novels, short stories and essays, Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) was well-known during his lifetime for his history textlbooks. Hawthorne and his wife Sophia (Peabody) educated their children at home so they would have a kind and quality education. From that experience came two of Hawthorne's most popular books during the 1800s, his history books -- stories of events and people he first told to his children during their walks together in the woods. Because the focus on Hawthorne's writing has been primarily literary and moral, his great interest in education has, for the most part, been overlooked. In this book, Author Millie shares some of Hawthorne's important observations about education. He was a remarkable early American homeschooler, one whose life and writings contain lessons for everyone involved in true education. Millie ends each chapter with her own reflections inspired by the lessons from Hawthorne and her observations of education today. Millie invites you to browse her website: www.milliesbooks.org.
Hungry River
This is the Third Edition (2015) of HUNGRY RIVER. The main changes are the cover and publisher. The Second Edition (2011), still "out there," added photos to the First Edition (2005). The story itself has not changed with Editions Two and Three. In the midst of the 1900 Boxer Rebellion riots in China, Nils and Lizzie Newquist attempt to flee to safety down the treacherous Great Yangtze River. When rebel troops capture them, a fierce-faced commander takes one look at them and their children, then shouts to his men, "Where are the foreign devils? I see only white Chinese. Release them!" HUNGRY RIVER tells the story of this daring, missionary family struggling to survive in war-tormented China -- a story highlighted by their granddaughter Abbie's modern-day journal entries. Adventure, romance, danger and tragedy are all part of their story. But so are faith, hope, love and triumph. The sequels to HUNGRY RIVER are DRAGON WALL and JADE CROSS.

"Millie's books are a gold mine for homeschooling families that do unit studies and Charlotte Mason type schooling." Jane Denney, homeschooling mom.

A Missionary Memoir
Fred Nelson was born during violent times to missionary parents in China in 1904. He spent most of his life there and in Taiwan, serving not only God, but also the United States Marine Corps. Not long before he died in 1992, he wrote this brief, poignant memoir. His children-editors have added the 25 rare photos and maps, plus italicized explanations. Fred's daughter narrates more of the Nelson family's adventures, both harrowing and wonderful, in her China and Taiwan novels: Hungry River (2011), Dragon Wall (2012), and Jade Cross (2014).
