Read in just under two hours with a little note taking. Such great language and ideas for introducing and continuing prayer with children! Written for kids, but a great read for parents and kids team leaders.' Good Reads review #11088;⭐⭐⭐⭐ ' This is genuinely one of the best books I've ever read. Pure gold! ' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ' Having enjoyed Pete Greig's teaching on prayer (and Gemma Hunt's presenting of Swashbuckle ;)), I can't quite put into words how excited I was when I heard this book was going to be released. When it arrived, it didn't disappoint! Aimed at 8-11s, I actually ended up reading it to my 7yo twins, who lapped it up. But I'm planning to read it to my 13yo and 11yo too, because it feels entirely suitable to use up to early teens. Using the P.R.A.Y. acronym (Pause Rejoice Ask Yes) found in the adult 'How to Pray' book (and associated Prayer Course), this book is helpfully structured in bite-size chunks featuring Pete's teaching, Gemma's experience, inspirational stories, prayer quotes from kids and (my son's favourite) practical prayer activities. A brilliant book to make prayer accessible, relevant and regular in our kids' lives.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

But when his father goes missing after a mysterious train crash in London, Everett and his little sister Bea are left with nothing but questions and a briefcase with a curious old pen. They soon discover that the pen is far from ordinary - in the right hands, its magical Ink can be used to create anything imaginable. But the Ink has dangerous enemies called Blotters, and soon Everett and Bea are running for their lives.Aided by Inklings, secret protectors of the Ink, Everett and Bea embark on a perilous quest across England and Scotland to track down a lost Inkwell that may be tied to their father's disappearance. The magic of the Ink helps create escape routes and clever disguises, but the Blotters won't stop until they've destroyed not jus the Ink, but Everett to save the day, but he can't seem to make the Ink work like everyone else can. Will Everett find a way to draw upon the most magical power of all - his courage - before it's too late?

As you explore the Christian faith, you will soon encounter some challenging words: Trinity, Sacrament, Reconciliation, Sin, Incarnation, even the word 'Christ' itself. It isn't Jesus's surname! It is a title with a meaning and history.Sooner, or later, these words, and the ideas behind them, must be addressed and understood. It is simply not possible to be a Christian without understanding sin and forgiveness, knowing what a sacrament is, or accepting Jesus as the Christ.This book is here to help. It explores and explains many of the key concepts and ideas that underpin the Christian faith."I had assumed that someone else had already written a book like this. It seemed such an obvious thing to do. But while I could find weighty tomes on the topics explored here, I couldn't find a book which covered all these things in ways that were accessible, comprehensive and friendly: a simple book about complex things, one which just about anyone could read and find helpful. So, I wrote one." - Archbishop Stephen Cottrell

They have helped in every part of the process to ensure our science and theology are in line with current understandings and discoveries.

The Shining Isle is restored, but Aerwiar is vast - and these authors have tales yet to tell:Explore the inner walls of Yorsha Doon, just west of the Woes of Shreve, on the edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, from the eyes of young Safiki in "The Prince of Yorsha Doon" from the creator of Aewiar, Andrew Peterson.Jennifer Trafton's warm and whimsical writing brings to life a publishing nightmare populated by the many beasts of Skree in "The Wooing of Sophelia Stupe".Learn the origins of Ollister Pebmrick's mysterious entry in the Creaturepedia about his encounter with a raggant in "Willow Worlds" by N. D. Wilson.Travel with young Podo Helmer on an epic hunt for sea dragons in "From the Deeps of the Dragon King" from A. S.

Now with all-new illustrations!Sketcher, adventurer, disguiser, and sneaker Ollister B. Pembrick roamed all of Skree with a sketchbook and pen, searching behind every tree stump and under every stone, in every river and on every hill, to discover and document the endless living wonders of the Maker's world. He risked life and limb--quite literally--to compile sketches and details of the creatures of Skree, usually from the cover of a hollow log, a hedge, or a pile of leaves.Refer to this carefully documented Creaturepedia before traversing through the Stony Mountains or harvesting fartichokes within a fortnight after a sandstorm. The drawings and field notes about squeeblins, toothy cows, oiples, and more will surely save any explorer's life and will definitely keep them--and their appendages--from being gobbled. Tread carefully, young adventurer. The creatures within are not to be trifled with.
