  When astronomers announce that the Moon has been torn from its orbit and is racing toward Earth, panic spreads across the globe—but escape is impossible. Civilization braces for impact as oceans rise, winds roar, and the sky turns a haunting copper color. In the remote wilderness of Labrador, a pilot and a wireless operator find themselves unexpectedly positioned to survive the greatest catastrophe humanity has ever faced. 
  As the Moon draws nearer, they endure relentless storms, earthquakes, and tidal waves, witnessing forces of nature beyond comprehension. What follows is not just the destruction of the world they knew, but a startling transformation of the planet itself. When the Moon Fell is a sweeping, thought-provoking vision of cosmic disaster, resilience, and the fragile hope of rebuilding after the unthinkable. 
  Morrison Colladay was an early science-fiction writer whose work captured the era’s fascination with astronomy, aviation, and the power of scientific inquiry. Writing at a time when radio communication and flight were reshaping human possibility, Colladay blended scientific speculation with vivid, grounded storytelling. 
  Though little is known about his personal life, Colladay’s fiction reflects a deep respect for scientists, explorers, and ordinary individuals facing extraordinary circumstances. When the Moon Fell stands as his most enduring contribution—a bold, imaginative tale that reflects both the anxieties and the optimism of early twentieth-century science fiction.

  "What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day... 
  Written in 1922, The Velveteen Rabbit, or, How Toys Become Real is the tale of a sweet unassuming toy rabbit who questions what it is to live and to love. It was the first children's title written by Margery Williams (1881 - 1944), who had previously created only for adults. This story eclipsed all others, to become her most famous work, and an ever adored classic for all ages. (Summary written by Marlo Dianne) 
  "It was by a sort of accident that The Velveteen Rabbit became the beginning of all the stories I have written since…By thinking about toys and remembering toys, they suddenly become very much alive. Toys I had loved as a little girl--my almost forgotten Tubby, who was the rabbit, and Old Dobbin, the Skin Horse, and the toys my children had loved." -- Margery Williams

  The Word in Motion New Testament Bible curriculum takes the intimidation out of teaching Scripture by combining streaming video instruction with vibrant illustrations, fun-to-read narratives, engaging discussion questions, and memorable character profiles. From the events leading up to the birth of Jesus to the apocalyptic vision the Apostle John received on the island of Patmos, this course tells the story depicted in Scripture in an easy-to-follow, chronological format that equips your student to know, live out, and share the Word of God more. Developed in cooperation with Walk Thru The Bible, this curriculum also gets kids up and moving to help them remember the key people, places, and events from every book of the Bible!Bible Curriculum Overview 
  When we offer our students opportunities to learn in different ways (including movement), abstract concepts click, and learning sticks in new ways. Each New Testament lesson incorporates multiple learning styles—seeing, hearing, moving, talking, and repeating—in a way that engages your student’s head, heart, and hands. And when they complete the course, students will be able to tell the story of God and His people using a series of keywords, memory verses, and hand motions. 
  There are 30 lessons in this course. Lessons 1–15 teach students the story of the New Testament, starting with the rise of the Roman Empire and culminating with the founding of the early church and the spread of the gospel to Asia and Europe. 
  As a parent, you guide your student through the New Testament coursework. Teaching tools for this course include streaming video instruction, biblical narratives that tell the story in chronological order, discussion questions, character profiles, essential doctrines and apologetics, Scripture readings, full-color visual aids, an overview of every New Testament book, and insightful articles that bring to life many facets of biblical history and culture.
