  The Man From Time by Frank Belknap Long - The method by which one man might be pinpointed in the vastness of all Eternity was the problem tackled by the versatile Frank Belknap Long in this story. And as all minds of great perceptiveness know, it would be a simple, human quality he'd find most effective even in solving Time-Space. 
  Daring Moonson, he was called. It was a proud name, a brave name. But what good was a name that rang out like a summons to battle if the man who bore it could not repeat it aloud without fear? 
  Moonson had tried telling himself that a man could conquer fear if he could but once summon the courage to laugh at all the sins that ever were, and do as he damned well pleased. An ancient phrase that—damned well. It went clear back to the Elizabethan Age, and Moonson had tried picturing himself as an Elizabethan man with a ruffle at his throat and a rapier in his clasp, brawling lustily in a tavern. 
  In the Elizabethan Age men had thrown caution to the winds and lived with their whole bodies, not just with their minds alone. Perhaps that was why, even in the year 3689, defiant names still cropped up. Names like Independence Forest and Man, Live Forever! 
  It was not easy for a man to live up to a name like Man, Live Forever! But Moonson was ready to believe that it could be done. There was something in human nature which made a man abandon caution and try to live up to the claims made for him by his parents at birth. 
  It must be bad, Moonson thought. It must be bad if I can't control the trembling of my hands, the pounding of the blood at my temples. I am like a child shut up alone in the dark, hearing rats scurrying in a closet thick with cobwebs and the tapping of a blind man's cane on a deserted street at midnight.

  It’s 1859. The British and Americans coexist on the small island of San Juan,  
  located off the coast of the Pacific Northwest. They are on fairly good terms— 
  until one fateful morning when an innocent hog owned by a British man has the  
  misfortune to eat some potatoes on an American farmer’s land. In a moment of  
  rash anger, Lyman Cutlar shoots Charles Griffin’s pig, inadvertently almost  
  bringing the two nations to war. Tensions flare, armies gather, cannons are rolled  
  out … all because of a pig! 
  Emma Bland Smith’s humorous text brings to life this true story of how two great  
  nations once almost went to war—but learned to share instead.

  Spending time with God helps you to be a boy who is full of courage, kindness, and joy. Each devotion in this book begins with one word for the day. Think about this word as you read the connected Bible verse, devotion, and question. Focus on the word as you go about your day and see if it changes the way you think about things.
  
  
   
  
  
  Let Jesus bring light and peace to your heart as you listen to his wisdom. When other people see his light shining in you, they will want it too!
