Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 33
Book Description
In this joyful and impactful picture book, a transgender boy prepares for the first day of school and introduces himself to his family and friends for the first time. Calvin has always been a boy, even if the world sees him as a girl. He knows who he is in his heart and in his mind but he hasn't yet told his family. Finally, he can wait no longer: "I'm not a girl," he tells his family. "I'm a boy--a boy in my heart and in my brain." Quick to support him, his loving family takes Calvin shopping for the swim trunks he's always wanted and back-to-school clothes and a new haircut that helps him look and feel like the boy he's always known himself to be. As the first day of school approaches, he's nervous and the "what-ifs" gather up inside him. But as his friends and teachers rally around him and he tells them his name, all his "what-ifs" begin to melt away. Inspired by the authors' own transgender child and accompanied by warm and triumphant illustrations, this authentic and personal text promotes kindness and empathy, offering a poignant and inclusive back-to-school message: all should feel safe, respected, and welcomed.

Calvin and the Reformed Tradition
Author: Richard A. Muller
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1441242546
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 454
Book Description
Richard Muller, a world-class scholar of the Reformation era, examines the relationship of Calvin's theology to the Reformed tradition, indicating Calvin's place in the tradition as one of several significant second-generation formulators. Muller argues that the Reformed tradition is a diverse and variegated movement not suitably described either as founded solely on the thought of John Calvin or as a reaction to or deviation from Calvin, thereby setting aside the old "Calvin and the Calvinists" approach in favor of a more integral and representative perspective. Muller offers historical corrective and nuance on topics of current interest in Reformed theology, such as limited atonement/universalism, union with Christ, and the order of salvation.

Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Boone had a love of the outdoors from a young age, and he was always exploring it. He would go on to become the premier pathfinder in North America, due in large part to his love of the woods. #2 Boone was not cut out for a farmer’s life. He spent hours studying the habits of white-tailed deer, and when he saw a black bear in late summer or early autumn, he would track it to its masting grounds. #3 The Boone family, led by patriarch George Boone, migrated from Philadelphia to the Welsh community of Gwynedd and eventually to large tracts of farmsteads in the shadow of today’s city of Reading. This area was eventually named Exeter in honor of George Boone’s British ancestry. #4 Boone’s father, Squire, was a very industrious man who worked hard to provide for his family. He was also known to be quite harsh with his children, though he genuinely rued the beatings he gave them.
