  Zebedee's Calling brings 11th Century England to life, with key battles and royal successions, as well as the efforts among a group of zealous Christians to have access to Scripture written in English. Along with revelations about rulers, military tactics and the Church, there also are descriptions of Anglo-Saxon society and daily life. Although this story is historical fiction, it parallels our time. The accounts of Christian leaders and martyrs who strove to make the Bible accessible to the people draw attention to the immeasurable value of Scripture, and how blessed we are to possess it today. 
  About the Author: 
  Author Joel Francis was born into a God-loving, Bible-believing Christian family in India, and emigrated with his family to Canada when he was a young boy. Learning about the history of the Church and attending a Catholic high school inspired him to write his first book, Zebedee's Calling. Joel conveys the eternal truths he continues learning about God through his writing, and he wishes to serve and glorify Him in every sphere of life. Joel lives with his parents and brother. He graduated from the University of Toronto with majors in applied statistics and economics, and a minor in mathematics.

  Three complaisant kids, two stormy parents, one anxious French poodle, too many U-haul trailers, and the potholed road of the early 1960s. Searching for Alpha Centauri is American Public Television artist Gary Spetz's boyhood memoir of living a nomadic life with an impetuous mother, a discontent casino-security-guard step-father, an anxious French poodle, and two complaisant siblings -- during the early 1960s. The artist/author paints his moving landscape with words. He adeptly colors these words with both humor and tenderness. Mixed into this tale is the author's deference of history. He effectively interweaves his backdrop of an impending nuclear war, an exciting new space race, an escalating conflict in Vietnam, a rising civil rights movement, the invasion of Beatlemania, and the shocking assassination of a President. Searching for Alpha Centauri is a story of innocence, edification, intrigue, adventure, and endurance. As its boy-protagonist explains, it was "a time of flying bears, where everyone, it seemed, danced into the mystic."
