Book Description
From the Newbery Medal–winning author of the beloved classic From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler comes four jewel-like short stories—one for each of the team members of an Academic Bowl team—that ask questions and demonstrate surprising answers. How had Mrs. Olinski chosen her sixth-grade Academic Bowl team? She had a number of answers. But were any of them true? How had she really chosen Noah and Nadia and Ethan and Julian? And why did they make such a good team? It was a surprise to a lot of people when Mrs. Olinski’s team won the sixth-grade Academic Bowl contest at Epiphany Middle School. It was an even bigger surprise when they beat the seventh grade and the eighth grade, too. And when they went on to even greater victories, everyone began to ask: How did it happen? It happened at least partly because Noah had been the best man (quite by accident) at the wedding of Ethan’s grandmother and Nadia’s grandfather. It happened because Nadia discovered that she could not let a lot of baby turtles die. It happened when Ethan could not let Julian face disaster alone. And it happened because Julian valued something important in himself and saw in the other three something he also valued. Mrs. Olinski, returning to teaching after having been injured in an automobile accident, found that her Academic Bowl team became her answer to finding confidence and success. What she did not know, at least at first, was that her team knew more than she did the answer to why they had been chosen.

Where I Have Seen God in My Life
Author: Gordon Kunkler
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1098006828
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 68
Book Description
I wrote this book for a number of reasons. First of all, God has been very good to me and I know that he wants me to respond to his love. God has given me many gifts besides the gift of love. For example faith, hope, family, and the abilities to do his will. With all that he has done for me, I want to let others know that he lives and is very much in touch with each of us. So much so that he sent his Son to die for our sins so that we have become children of God and heirs to the kingdom. All that we need to do is to love others as ourselves and accept his gifts. Scripture has said that he knocks on our doors and that whoever opens the door for him, he will enter and have supper with them. With the gifts of faith and hope, I can find peace in my future. I would like everyone to know the love that God has for them. However there are those who say that God is dead or that there is no God. I feel sorry for them for they have no hope for their future when it comes to eternal life with God. This world and all that it holds will never make them happy. I have shared where I have seen God in my life and have had my friends also share God in their lives in hope that other may believe and change their hearts and lives to serve God and others. Jesus told his disciples to go and teach all nations. We can't do this unless we stand up or speech up for our faith and our God. Sharing our faith and by showing our faith is one of the best ways of teaching all nations. We as parents and Christians must teach our children and others to do what Jesus want us to do. He died for our sins and wants us to finish the job of spreading the truth and the faith that he has given to us. The gifts of faith, hope, love, and forgiveness are too special to waste. We need to use them each chance that we have. If we don't use them, we will become weak in our faith and become like the worthless servant that buries his master's money. We need to invest in our future of eternal life and the future of others.

ON THIS DAY Heavenly Food for Spiritual Hunger
Author: Fr. Benjamin A Vima
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1698717563
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
‘On this Day’ is a prayerful and meditative work, consisting of daily reflections and prayers on Scriptural passages used in seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter. Its content, as spiritual food, comes out of the enlightening Scriptural words, proclaimed by the Church during everyday Masses. We are pilgrims in this world walking, marching, jogging, or running to reach our ultimate life’s destiny for which God has designed and created us. Every day is so important because, as the Bible points out, today is the only Day God has entrusted to us to prepare for our meeting Him. It is the only Day every human has in hand to please God. It is the only Day every God’s child is given to reciprocate to his Father’s Covenantal Love. It is the author’s earnest desire that ‘On this Day’ may assist his readers in their spiritual and religious exercises through which they gain sufficient heavenly energy to make each day pleasing to the Lord and to magnify His Glory.
