Sinossi

In "Friend Island," Francis Stevens crafts a compelling tale that intricately weaves elements of fantasy and social commentary, set against the backdrop of a mysterious island inhabited by diverse characters. The narrative unfolds with a rich, immersive literary style that incorporates vivid imagery and psychological depth, typical of Stevens' work in the early 20th century. Taking place in a fantastical realm, the story explores themes of friendship, isolation, and the human condition, reflecting the author's engagement with societal issues of her time, particularly the complexities of human relationships in an increasingly fragmented world. Francis Stevens, a pioneer in speculative fiction and one of the first women to make significant contributions to the genre, drew on her own experiences and observations of the challenges faced by individuals in society. Her background in both fiction and journalism allowed her to deftly examine the interplay of human emotions and societal structures. "Friend Island" showcases her talent for blending fantasy with real-world anxieties, ultimately enabling her readers to reflect on their own lives through the lens of her imaginative narratives. I highly recommend "Friend Island" to readers who appreciate richly layered storytelling and are interested in the intersection of fantasy and profound social insight. Stevens' unique voice and thoughtful exploration of friendship and community will resonate with those seeking not only entertainment but also a deeper understanding of the human psyche.

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
