Can a baby really stop a war? Journey by canoe into the jungles of New Guinea and discover a colorful village hidden high in the trees. Perfect Peace Child tells the true story of how God used the Sawi people's own tradition--giving a baby to make peace--to show them that Jesus is God's Peace Child. That's when their hearts began to change. This book invites children to see how God's love brings deep-down-forever peace anywhere in the world.

What happens when missionaries get rerouted? Many missionary biographies tell the stories of men and women who persevered for decades in a single context. Today, though, God seems to be moving His workforce around the globe with growing frequency. Items May Have Shifted is a collection of stories of missionaries who left everything and moved across the world to serve among the unreached-and then were rerouted, often without much warning or explanation. Their experiences illustrate an inherent tension missionaries must maintain in our chaotic world: the commitment to go deep in difficult contexts as if it's forever and the openhandedness to accept that plans may change at any time. You (or missionaries you care about) may be on the move by necessity or by choice. Either way, these stories remind us all that God's people are called to a flexible, responsive faithfulness, tenaciously clinging to the God of the unexpected.

A fun and informative introduction to church history and theology in rhyme. Some say theology's only for grown-ups. In fact, you can learn it no matter your size. You can understand, with God's help, what he's shown us. Theology's easy to learn if it rhymes. This book defines theology, orthodoxy, and orthopraxy in a way children and adults alike will understand and remember. It also covers aspects of Theology Proper, Bibliology, Hamartiology, Soteriology, Christology, Ecclesiology, and Eschatology that Christians have agreed on all over the world and in every century.
