Book Description
"ONE LAST SPIN. IF YOU WIN, YOU KEEP ALL THE MONEY. ENOUGH TO PAY OFF YOUR DEBTS." "AND IF I LOSE?" "YOU MARRY ME. YOU HAVE MY BABY. AND I PAY OFF YOUR DEBTS." On the surface, it was a win-win proposition. Whatever the whim of the roulette wheel, Catriona McConnell would keep her outback home. So, in a Vegas casino on the dare of the rich stranger she'd rescued mere days before, she gambled. And lost. And in the harsh light of morning, after a night of Rafe Carlisle making her his wife, Cat realized she'd wagered badly. Because she'd upped the ante impossibly: She wanted Rafe's love.

Book Description
Spun around the real events of December 1642, when Dutchman Abel Tasman first sighted New Zealand and Maori people first saw Europeans, STRANGER LOVE is a tale seen through the eyes of Tasmans sixteen-year old cousin, Jakob, and the similarly-aged daughter of a Maori chieftain, Te Ao-mihia. Jakobs desire to leave his dull clerks job and become a sailor is brutally fulfilled, when, during an attempt to lose his virginity in a brothel, he is press-ganged onto a ship. His journey to the East Indies almost kills him, but once there he manages to join Tasmans expedition to the Great Southland. Te Ao-mihia also longs to break free from the rules and regulations of her role as a village princess by finding a boy to explore the secrets of love with. In the end, Tasmans expedition never sets foot on land and his arrival in Maori waters leads to misunderstandings and bloodshed. How, despite this tragic conflict, the Dutch boy and Maori girl meet and find love, albeit of a strange kind, only to see that love become a death sentence, carries this tale of STRANGER LOVE to its bittersweet climax and poignant resolution. Richard Woolley has the rare gift of keeping you anxious to know what happens next. David Robinson, The Times

Book Description
This accessible guide to Jewish children’s literature explores many of the enduring questions of the Jewish tradition: What is Jewish history? What are love, wisdom, humor, ritual, evil, and justice? Jewish children’s literature matters for all children, and with this practical guide parents and teachers will be empowered to choose and discuss books and stories with Jewish or non-Jewish children. Jewish children’s literature is often absent in school classrooms and when it is available, it presents a picture to children of Jews as victims. Enduring Questions provides teachers with guidance in the use of Jewish children’s literature in the preschool and elementary school classroom. Enduring Questions includes extensive bibliographies of Jewish children’s literature, digital resources for teachers, and suggestions for further reading. With summaries of suggested books and texts, honest recommendations from teachers who have used these texts in the classroom, and practical curricular connections, this comprehensive book is suited for those looking for an introduction to teaching Jewish children's literature and those familiar with it. The book provides a framework about the use of Jewish children’s literature as an opportunity for all children, both Jewish and non-Jewish, to be philosophers and engage in dialog and debate. The enduring questions thoughtfully explored through Jewish literature are important for all students growing up in a diverse multicultural world.

Book Description
The shortest distance between two human beings is – a story. Without inspired passion things will not change. Storytelling is a social activity where two or more people are present. In a rich and lively picture language, ancient myths, wisdom tales, life stories and spontaneously created stories are shared in an appreciative way, where everyone has a voice. In THE NEW STORY, more than 30 tales from around the world and easy to do exercises give a fresh and encouraging take on how to bring about understanding, compassion and transformation in different life situations – whether at school, in worklife, at home with the family, in a quiet conversation with a friend or in the wider arena of international politics, mediation and social healing. Practical examples from all walks of life combine with leading edge contributions from six modern storytellers at work in places like Israel, Kurdistan and Sierra Leone. Storytelling activities foster and encourage the use of the spoken word over the destructive sword through non-judgmental listening and our creative imaginations. By accessing the new stories about who we are, we begin to heal the world. THE NEW STORY is a book about how to build living, sustainable relationships and being creative in our meetings with each other. Everyone can do it! This book will appeal to those looking to engender positivity and enthusiasm wherever they are, learning new skills to transform the past, honour the present and create a future together.
