Summary

In "The Saddle Boys at Circle Ranch; Or, In at the Grand Round-Up," James Captain Carson crafts an engaging narrative that immerses readers in the vibrant world of the American West. Through the adventures of the Saddle Boys, Carson employs a resourceful blend of vivid descriptions and authentic dialogue, encapsulating the essence of frontier life during the late 19th century. The book not only serves as an entertaining account of a ranching escapade but also richly reflects the larger socio-cultural context of rural America, exploring themes such as camaraderie, resilience, and the budding spirit of freedom that defined the cowboy lifestyle. Carson, an author well-acquainted with the rugged and adventurous spirit of the West, drew inspiration from his own experiences and the folklore surrounding ranch life. As a figure within the literary tradition of Western adventure novels, he aimed to bring to life the exhilarating yet challenging existence of young cowboys facing the trials of work and play under the vast skies and unforgiving landscapes of the frontier. His emulation of real-life scenarios and characters speaks to a personal connection to the themes of friendship and bravery. This book is a compelling read for lovers of adventure and young adult literature, delivering not only thrilling escapism but also the moral undertones of loyalty and courage. Whether you are exploring Carson'Äôs West for the first time or revisiting its expansive horizons, the tale promises to spark imagination and resonate deeply with the spirit of adventure.

    Mary was the beloved daughter of a sailor and his wife who lived on a hill close to the sea. The rhyme calls her "Mistress Mary, quite contrary" because sad to say she was a contrary child often doing the exact opposite of what her mother and father advised for no reason but that she did not wish to follow their advice. But her parents loved her and knew that she would some day grow out of this peevish behavior. One day her father and brothers were to leave on a long sea journey and she asked him "	And how long will you be gone, papa?" He responded Why, just this, sweetheart," returned the sailor gravely; "all the time that it takes the cowslips and dingle-bells and cockle-shells to sprout from the ground, and grow big and strong, and blossom into flower, and, yes—to wither and die away again—all that time shall your brothers and I sail the seas. But when the cold winds begin to blow, and the flowers are gone, then, God willing, we shall come back to you; and by that time you may have grown wiser and bigger, and I am sure you will have grown older. So one more kiss, sweetheart, and then we must go, for our time is up." 
After he left, Mistress Mary decided to plant a garden of these flowers to know when her father and brothers would return and that garden is what the poem is talking about. But it did not happen as she expected! Oh no! Listen to this delightful story to see how Mary learned to not be so contrary.

    The biblical teaching that Jesus was the Suffering Servant who carried the sins of His people when He went to the cross is vividly brought home to children in The Donkey Who Carried a King, the latest children’s book from respected theologian, author, and educator Dr. R.C. Sproul.Davey was a young donkey who was bored and unhappy because he was never given anything to do. Then one day, some strangers came to the gate―and Davey’s master picked him for a very special task. Davey carried the King, Jesus, into Jerusalem. A few days later, Davey saw some angry people making the King carry a heavy beam of wood. Davey could not understand it―until another donkey helped him see that the King was being a Servant on behalf of His people.The Donkey Who Carried a King offers a unique perspective on the events of Jesus’ Passion Week and calls all believers, both young and old, to follow in the footsteps of the Suffering Servant for the glory of God. Jesus was willing to leave the glories of heaven to suffer and die in this world on our behalf, so we should serve Him with all our hearts.
