  Listen to some of Jesus' most renowned parables in this book. 
  A particular lawyer came to Jesus having the desire to tempt him and said, “Teacher, what should I do to have everlasting life?” 
  Jesus replied, “What does the Law state? What is written in it?” 
  The lawyer answered, “Love the Lord God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. Also, love your neighbor as yourself.” 
  When Jesus heard this, he said, “You have stated correctly. Do this and you will live.” 
  The lawyer wanted to know more so he asked, “Lord, who is my neighbour?” 
  Then Jesus gave to him a parable and said, “A man was travelling from Jerusalem to Jericho, and on his way, he met upon thieves who took his clothes, and injured him badly; and went away leaving him for dead.” 
  “And along the way by chance came down that same road a priest, and when he saw the badly injured man he walked over by the other side.”

  The inspiring true story of how one visionary woman used children’s books to help heal a generation of Germany’s children after WWII and went on to set up the International Youth Library and International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY). Written by Katherine Paterson, the beloved and award-winning author of Bridge to Terabithia and many other children’s favorites. 
    
  Jella Lepman was a woman who stood her ground, challenged convention, and worked fiercely to transform her biggest dreams into reality. 
    
  In 1945, when Jella was tasked with what seemed like an insurmountable challenge―to create a haven of imagination and joy for the children of a Germany scarred by war—she turned to a steadfast companion: books. As a Jewish woman who had fled from the Nazis, Jella was determined to restore a sense of childhood to the young people who had only known conflict and violence. Despite constant obstacles, Jella persevered, and with the help of publishers and children from around the world, she amassed an extraordinary collection of 4,000 children’s books in pursuit of her mission to promote peace. The roving literary collection would eventually find a home as the International Youth Library in Munich, now with over 600,000 items, the largest collection of children’s books and materials in the world. 
    
  Jella Lepman and Her Library of Dreams is a thrilling and heartfelt exploration of one woman’s extraordinary belief in the power of books to transform young lives. Perfect for readers who enjoy biography, true adventure nonfiction, and empowering stories of women in history, this makes an outstanding addition to classroom and home libraries.

  “Meddler” by Philip K. Dick is a gripping time-travel thriller about curiosity, consequences, and the fragile future of humanity. When scientists secretly use a device to peer ahead in time, they discover strange, unsettling changes to the world — and then, a future where humanity no longer exists. 
  To uncover the truth, they send an expert into the centuries ahead. What he finds is beautiful, haunting, and deadly. Something small, strange, and intelligent waits there — and it may already be here. 
  Philip K. Dick (1928–1982) was one of the most imaginative and influential science fiction writers of the 20th century. Known for exploring paranoia, alternate realities, and shifting identities, his fiction constantly asks what is real — and who is controlling it. 
  His work inspired countless films and TV shows including Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report, A Scanner Darkly, The Man in the High Castle, and more. “Meddler” showcases the early seeds of Dick’s fascination with time, fate, and the unseen forces that shape our lives.
