Sinossi

This story of two girls trying to banish a witch is “full of wonderful fun, excitement, and humor” (Library Journal).   Old Witch likes nothing better than to fly around on her broomstick, crying “Heh-heh!” and casting abracadabras. But now she has been sent away . . . by two young girls.   Amy and Clarissa have decided that Old Witch is just too mean and wicked. So, drawing a rickety old house upon a barren glass hill, they exile Old Witch there with a warning: She better be good, or else no Halloween! But to give Old Witch some company, they draw her a Little Witch Girl and a Weeny Witch Baby . . .   Old Witch tries to be good, but anyone would get up to no good in a place as lonely as the glass hill. And Amy and Clarissa are about to find that out, when Old Witch magics them into her world of make-believe-made-real, in “a very special book that is certain to give boundless pleasure—at any time of the year” (The Horn Book).   “A classic for Halloween.” —Library Journal

The 30-Minute Bible: - God's...

Craig G. Bartholomew, Paige P....

We may know a few Bible stories, or maybe we've studied the Bible for years. But do we know what's it really all about, and how all the different pieces fit together? 
Renowned Bible scholar Craig Bartholomew and Bible teacher Paige Vanosky present the story of Scripture in thirty short readings, each designed to take about half an hour. Together these chapters condense the biblical story into one easily understood story, the story of our world. This story begins with creation and ends with the wrapping up of history as it follows one branch of a family tree from Adam and Eve to Jesus, and beyond. It's "the greatest story in the world," one surely to provide impact and meaning to your life. 
"Whether you are new to the Bible or looking for a fresh engagement with it, The 30-Minute Bible is a version I highly recommend." Bishop Todd Hunter 
"The authors have given us solid biblical knowledge from a broadly ecumenical point of view that teachers from any Christian tradition can use with confidence." Rev. Jack Baca
