  Emmy Award-winning and New York Times bestselling writer, comedian, and actor Bob Odenkirk and his daughter, illustrator Erin Odenkirk, present poetic nonsense for all ages perfect for fans of Shel Silverstein and Jack Prelutsky! Bob Odenkirk began writing these poems with his children when they were little, compiling the poetry into a homemade book entitled Olde Time Rhymes. He wanted Nate and Erin to understand that actual people had written the books the family loved to read and to instill in them the feeling that they could be writers and illustrators themselves. Almost twenty years later, when the Odenkirks found themselves quarantined under the same roof, they revisited these mostly silly, sometimes poignant works. It wasn't until Erin began to create illustrations to accompany the words, though, that the book grew to be something much bigger than an Odenkirk family treasure. From the titular made-up word for a blanket fort, an adorable dog with a penchant for the zoomies, and a father teaching his kids how umbrellas work, the subjects of these works, complemented by Erin’s whimsical and detailed linework, come alive on these pages. Featuring over seventy poems, Zilot & Other Important Rhymes will delight readers young and old.

  Jesus was teaching and healing the sick in various towns and villages, around Jerusalem, Large crowds often gathered around Him to listen to His teachings and witness miracles, because everywhere Jesus went He would touch people and make their lives better. 
  One day Jesus came to Judaea -- Great multitudes followed him; the Bible says, those who came sick, He healed them. As Jesus was talking to a big group of people, Mom’s and Dad’s begin to bring their children to Jesus, hoping that He would place His hands on them and bless them. However, the disciples, thinking that Jesus shouldn't be bothered, told the parents, Jesus don't have time right now, and they must go away, But when Jesus saw what was going on, He was very displeased, and He told His disciples', "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Then the Lord said unto them except you adults become as a child, you cannot know the Kingdom of God. He then took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them, and blessed them.

Was he, Rowland Bingham, willing to go to the Sudan, where white men nearly always died? At age twenty Rowland Bingham committed hiself to serving not only in Africa, known as the white man's grave, but in Africa's Sudan interior, where few missionaried had ventured and those who did soon died of disease or retreated in defeat. Experience missionaries told Rowland that his dream was impossible. But when he found himself the sole surviving member of the fledgling Sudan Interior Mission, he didn't give up - neither did God. In an amazing story of vision and faith, God used this willing servant to open a way for the gospel's light to shine on millions of people once thought beyond reach.
