Synopsis

In "John of the Woods," Abbie Farwell Brown weaves a captivating tale set in the lush landscapes of the American wilderness, exploring themes of solitude, nature, and self-discovery. The narrative employs a lyrical prose style that captures the serene beauty and harsh realities of wilderness life, echoing the emerging literary trend of nature writing at the turn of the 20th century. Brown's vivid descriptions and emotional depth invite readers to experience the profound connection between humanity and the natural world, while also reflecting on the transformative power of isolation and introspection. Abbie Farwell Brown, a noted author and advocate for nature appreciation, drew from her experiences in the early 1900s, a period marked by growing interest in environmental conservation. Her deep love for the outdoors and her background in education influenced her writing, prompting her to address themes of personal growth and the human condition. Brown's voice remains distinctive in American literature, as she sought to inspire a sense of wonder and reverence for the natural environment through her work. "John of the Woods" is highly recommended for readers interested in nature literature, reflecting on the human-nature relationship, or simply seeking an inspirational narrative. Brown's eloquent storytelling and keen observations make this an essential read for anyone looking to reconnect with the wild and explore the inner landscapes of the self.

    God loves kids, and his really good plan is for kids to grow up in loving families with everything they need to be safe, happy, and whole. But the brokenness in the world has caused really big problems in some families. Because God loves these families, he provides people to help them, as well as foster families to welcome the kids who need safe and loving homes. How can we help young kids--kids in foster families, kids in foster care, or kids simply learning--to understand foster care in a gentle and biblical way? 
     
    Beautifully illustrated, God Loves Kids is a trauma-informed, gospel-centered children's picture book designed to help you navigate difficult conversations about foster care with kids. Beginning with God's initial plan for kids and families, the story introduces, with compassion and sensitivity, the challenges that bring about the need for foster care, what it looks like for foster families to show up for kids, and the different feelings everyone involved in foster care may experience. The book ends where it begins, with the promise that God has a good plan for the kids he loves.  
           
    This unique resource helps children understand foster care and how they can trust God and his good plan to redeem every single story.
