His background in theater and journalism imbued his writing with striking visual elements and a sense of dialogue that resonates even today.

This collection is a must-read for fans of fantasy and children's literature alike, offering a nostalgia-tinged journey through a world that has shaped generations of readers.

    Anselm is probably the greatest theologian who lived during the time between Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas. His compelling yearning to know and love God as He is revealed to us in Scriptures shaped his life and permeates all of his writings. He found the greatest joy in communion with God, but was thrusted into the difficult political scene of the 11th-12th centuries. He didn't work well with kings and, at one point, he had most of the English leaders against him. Still, his writings have had a great influence on the Christian church, and his teachings about Christ's sacrifice and about the relation between faith and reason are a vital part of the historical Christian Confessions. What can Anselm teach our children? To be inquisitive and use their minds as God's gifts to discover and understand what He has revealed in His word (Deut.29:29). Particularly, I hope the children will take time to consider and explore Anselm's question: Why a God-man? What is the meaning of Christ's sacrifice on the cross? What do we mean when we say, "Jesus died for our sins"?  Our understanding of Christ's atonement shapes all of our theology and our lives.

    Up in the attic of faded threads in Patchwork Pines, where quilters stitch whispers into quilts and fabric merchants deal in pieces of the past, sleuth Nora patches a clue with merchant Elias, whose deals stitch together a tapestry of missing heirlooms. Their quilt, stitched in fabric vows and thread-kissed patches, reunites truth—or unravels in tangled seams of doubt. As they sew through attic-laced boxes and clue-bound bolts, patched by thread wardens and fabric rivals, Nora's quilting vision merges with Elias's merchant trade, unveiling a patchwork legend of stitched reunion. When a loose stitch summons dust sprites, they must patch the clue to mend the weave. In the whisper of quilted patches, where every stitch mends a memory and every deal reveals a pattern, their soft mystery becomes the quilt that covers the attic's secrets.
