Kabungo
Author: Rolli
Publisher: Groundwood Books Ltd
ISBN: 1554988063
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
Ten-year-old Beverly is an ordinary girl with an extraordinary best friend. Her name is Kabungo, and she lives in a cave on Main Street. No one knows where she comes from or who she really is, but life is never dull when Kabungo is around. Beverly tries to teach her friend about the ways of the modern world — the importance of teeth brushing, understanding strange holidays like Halloween, learning how to read. But Kabungo doesn’t take well to being civilized, and she can be stubborn, bossy, and plain infuriating. Sometimes Beverly gets so mad that she just wants to move to Cincinnati. Besides, Kabungo is a skittish cavegirl, and it takes a while to win her trust, even among Star City’s eccentric denizens, such as Mr. Gobshaw, who owns the local drug shop (“We have everything!”) where you’ll find the stuffed tigers right next to the breath mints. And there is Ms. VeDore, who seems to float as she walks around her decrepit mansion, and who throws the most amazing Halloween parties. Then, just when you least expect it, Kabungo will do something surprising (and when you’re best friends with a cavegirl, you’re not easily surprised). Like planning an unexpected birthday treat for Beverly (even though it isn’t actually her birthday) — at the city dump. In other words, Beverly learns that there are times for teaching, and times for tipping your head back and laughing. Hilarious and poignant, Kabungo is the most originally voiced and endearing middle-grade heroine since Pippi Longstocking. Accompanied by quirky line drawings by Milan Pavlovic, this is a gently humorous novel about friendship and community that raises for young readers deeper questions about finding beauty in unexpected places, accepting and celebrating differences, and what it really means to be civilized.

Why Our Children Will Be Atheists
Author: Albert Williams
Publisher: Albert Williams
ISBN: 9780620588010
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
One of the top 5 atheist books to be published in recent times. Will our current Gods and Religions disappear in the next 100 years? The race for the most momentous change in human history has started. Discover the origins of our Gods, religions and why the world will ultimately become atheist in the next 100 years. Reading this book will fundamentally change your outlook of the world. The book fearlessly examines our current major religions, their origins, and the path of their final demise. It examines the evidence we've uncovered regarding primitive religions, evidence dominated by myth, ritual, taboo, and superstition- and shows how so much of each is still present in our current religions. The book then asks if today's gods were really always there, presiding over the world since its creation, each the ultimate Creator and Ruler of our cosmos-or if, in fact, they ever really existed? The human race's powerful dependence and reliance upon religion is then considered in detail. He describes the ordeal of a boy, trapped by a deadly sickness, using his god and religion to find answers. He also explores the psychological impact of religion on human thought and behavior throughout history. Next, Why Our Children Will be Atheists tackles the question of whether religion imbues a person with better morals and essential goodness. In particular, it critically discusses research claiming that religious children are happier and more content than their non-religious counterparts. Also examined are the powerful mechanisms that religion deploys to ensure its survival, and the use of the state to advance religion. The final section part of the book briefly outlines our current knowledge of the universe, the origins of life, and its evolution, all of which are gradually replacing our notions of Special Creation. The new, emergent phase of human spirituality is then described, representing a model that will eventually render current faiths irrelevant, heralding the beginning of a religion-free era. The last 100 years of religion is here.
