  The Call From Beyond by Clifford D. Simak - Alone, accursed, he set out on the long, dark voyage to the forbidden gateway to worlds beyond life itself—restless forever with an ultimate knowledge, possessing which no man could die! 
  The pyramid was built of bottles, hundreds of bottles that flashed and glinted as if with living fire, picking up and breaking up the misty light that filtered from the distant sun and still more distant stars. 
  Frederick West took a slow step forward, away from the open port of his tiny ship. He shook his head and shut his eyes and opened them again and the pyramid was still there. So it was no figment, as he had feared, of his imagination, born in the darkness and the loneliness of his flight from Earth. 
  It was there and it was a crazy thing. Crazy because it should not be there, at all. There should be nothing here on this almost unknown slab of tumbling stone and metal. 
  For no one lived on Pluto's moon. No one ever visited Pluto's moon. Even he, himself, hadn't intended to until, circling it to have a look before going on to Pluto, he had seen that brief flash of light, as if someone might be signaling. It had been the pyramid, of course. He knew that now. The stacked-up bottles catching and reflecting light. 
  Behind the pyramid stood a space hut, squatted down among the jagged boulders. But there was no movement, no sign of life. No one was tumbling out of the entrance lock to welcome him. And that was strange, he thought. For visitors must be rare, if, indeed, they came at all. 
  Perhaps the pyramid really was a signaling device, although it would be a clumsy way of signaling. More likely a madman's caprice. Come to think of it, anyone who was sufficiently deranged to live on Pluto's moon would be a fitting architect for a pyramid of bottles.

  Butternut is a young rabbit who loves storytelling, is prone to adventures, yet troubled by dark fears that she refers to as her “brambles.” Despite her mother’s advice to stick to her own kind, when Butternut befriends an exuberant young robin named Piper, the two companions soon find themselves growing ever more ready to help creatures in trouble. Reminiscent of the beloved classics WATERSHIP DOWN and RABBIT HILL, but utterly unique in its vision, this tough and tender novel is illuminated by a love for the natural world as seen through a rabbit’s eyes. Audie Award winning narrator Tavia Gilbert provides a warm and joyful performance for this charming tale of courage, compassion, and community.

  No Shield From The Dead by Gordon R. Dickson - No conceivable force could penetrate Terri's shield. Yet he was defenseless. 
  It was a nice little party, but a bit obvious. Terri Mac saw through it before he had taken half a dozen steps into the apartment. A light flush staining his high cheek-bones. "This is ridiculous," he said. 
  The light chatter ceased. Cocktail glasses were set down on various handy tables and ledges; and all faces in the room turned toward a man in his late fifties who sat propped up invalid-wise on pillows in a chair in a corner of the room. 
  "The Comptroller is perspicacious," said the old man, agreeably, waving one hand in a casual manner. "On your way, children." 
  And the people present smiled and nodded. Quite as if it were an ordinary leave-taking, they pushed past Terri Mac and filed out the door. Even the blonde, Terri had picked up at the embassy ball and who had brought him here, strolled off casually, but in a decidedly less drunken fashion than she had exhibited earlier in the evening. 
  "Sit down," said the old man. Terri Mac did so, gazing searchingly at the skinny frame and white eyebrows in an unsuccessful effort to connect him with something in memory. "This is ridiculous," he repeated.

  The reality of suffering is a profound aspect of the human experience, one that resonates deeply within the Christian faith. As believers, we are often confronted with the stark truth that pain and hardship are not mere anomalies; they are woven into the fabric of our lives. Yet, in the midst of our struggles, we are invited to reflect on the comforting nature of Christ. His compassion for the brokenhearted is a testament to the fact that we are not alone in our suffering. When we allow ourselves to embrace this truth, we begin to see our trials not just as obstacles, but as opportunities for deeper intimacy with God.
