    Chronicles of Wonder tells the story of the imaginative boy born in Ireland who loved books and poetry and grew himself to be a famous teacher and writer. But before he penned The Space Trilogy or The Chronicles of Narnia, Clive Staples Lewis found friends in other stories, including tales from Beatrix Potter, The Wind and the Willows, Phantastes by George MacDonald, and The Pilgrim’s Progress.In this fictionalized biography, author Leah Boden intertwines the life of Lewis—or as his friends knew him, “Jack”—with literary works that impacted him. From Shakespeare to his close friend Tolkien, each chapter takes you through the life of Jack and the works that steadied and guided him.Readers travel through Jack’s boarding school days, The Great War, and his professorship at Oxford. They learn when Jack came to trust in Jesus and how he then became a voice for the Christian world. As each chapter unfolds, young readers are encouraged by the creativity, wisdom, and humility of Jack, while gaining an appreciation for the heart shaping power of books.

    The #1 Bestselling series! 
    
    THRONE OF THE FALLEN is book #8 in Morgan Rice’s bestselling epic fantasy series KINGS AND SORCERERS (which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS, a free download)! 
    
    In THRONE OF THE FALLEN, the twins Lyra and Kael have grown up on the hidden Isle of Whispers under the guardianship of the mysterious Thara, unaware of their royal heritage or the prophecy that surrounds their birth. As they approach their fifteenth birthday, their powers begin to manifest in extraordinary ways—Lyra healing with golden light while Kael commands shadows with remarkable control.
    
    But ancient forces have been searching for them. When Queen Isolde's crystal warriors discover their sanctuary, the twins must defend their home against overwhelming odds. Even as they repel this first attack, a greater threat emerges from the shadows. As their peaceful existence shatters around them and their beloved guardian falls, the twins face separation for the first time in their lives. Meanwhile, deep within Isolde's fortress, Queen Kyra stirs within her crystal prison, sensing her children's peril across the magical bonds that connect them. The time has come for a mother's awakening, a sister's courage, and a brother's sacrifice—as the fate of kingdoms hangs in the balance.
    
    With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, KINGS AND SORCERERS is a sweeping saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, destiny, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders. 
    
    Future books in the series are also available!

    In this moving and timeless story, award-winning author L. M. Elliott captures life on the U.S. homefront during World War II, weaving a rich portrait of a family reeling from loss and the chilling yet hopeful voyage of fighting for what matters, perfect for fans of The War That Saved My Life. 
    Days after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Hitler declared war on the U.S., unleashing U-boat submarines to attack American ships. Suddenly the waves outside Louisa June’s farm aren’t for eel fishing or marveling at wild swans or learning to skull her family’s boat—they’re dangerous, swarming with hidden enemies. 
    Her oldest brothers’ ships risk coming face-to-face with U-boats. Her sister leaves home to weld Liberty Boat hulls. And then her daddy, a tugboat captain, and her dearest brother, Butler, are caught in the crossfire. 
    Her mama has always swum in a sea of melancholy, but now she really needs Louisa June to find moments of beauty or inspiration to buoy her. Like sunshine-yellow daffodils, good books, or news accounts of daring rescues of torpedoed passengers. 
    Determined to help her mama and aching to combat Nazis herself, Louisa June turns to her quirky friend Emmett and the indomitable Cousin Belle, who has her own war stories—and a herd of cats—to share. In the end, after a perilous sail, Louisa June learns the greatest lifeline is love.
