Hardback. Zustand: Good. As Beto looks at the eight candles on his birthday cake, he knows that his wish is always the same. Beto wishes that he could be with his father every chance he gets. It has been three years since he and Mama left El Salvador. Lurking in his mind are the memories of the losses they suffered before leaving: the bombing of a factory, the burning of the family home, the loss of all their possessions, but most of all, he thinks of the father that he has left behind. In the United States, Mama has found a job in a sewing factory making jeans, and they are trying to bring Papa to the United States with the help of an immigration lawyer. But this is only the beginning, and for Beto, it seems that his father cannot come fast enough. One day in school, Beto is given the opportunity to write his father a letter. When he is invited to read it on Radio Voz del Immigrante, his heartfelt homage to home spurs a surprising chain of events, that even the imaginative Beto could not have expected. In this book, readers discover a young character whose vision and tenacity allow him to accomplish a feat that once seemed nearly impossible. Through the character's memories of El Salvador and his classroom experiences, the reader also gains insight into the tense political ramifications of war in a country and how that war impacts its survivors. For Beto and the reader, Waiting for Papa/ Esperando a Papa is an educational lesson. Accardo, Anthony (illustrator).…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. What would you like to ask someone who has died and gone to the other side? This book is your chance to investigate the afterlife and the nature of religion through real experiences of God beyond death. In The Light Behind God, philosopher of religion Rene Jorgensen reveals his research of 16 people who have had a Near Death Experience. Since life after death is the foundation of religion, Jorgensen explores the parallels between religion and people who die and come back, and in his study he asks what we can learn about religion from these real experiences of the realm of God. Based on Jorgensen's findings and supported by over 30 years of research, The Light Behind God is not based on belief or dogma but on a sincere attempt to interpret these direct experiences of God in an objective manner. Through this book you will gain insights about life after death and through its use of testimonies from the other side you will get a glimpse of a true and living God.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Who am I? These three simple words hold such power. But for women everywhere, the answer isn't quite so simple. Daughter: Becoming Who You Already Are is a refreshing perspective for every woman, everywhere. In a world focused on appearance, we forget -- or, were never told -- this grounding and life-changing truth: we are first, foremost, and simply His. From the book: The truth is, though you may not feel like it now, you're in a beautiful place. Whether it's for the first time or whether it's for the hundredth time, it's never a bad idea to ask your Father, to ask Jesus, to remind you who you are. Drawing from relevant scripture and not shying away from the hard questions--or pretending she has all the answers-- Laney shares the experiences that have shaped her into who she is today. My hope for you -- no matter what stage or season of life you're in, no matter your upbringing or background -- is that the words in this book would refresh your soul. - Laney This book provides a picture of the Father's faithfulness and deep love for every Daughter. It is an invitation to receive a God-given identity, to walk in the inheritance of who you already are.…
