    "Do you mean to say you have no food for tomorrow?" the Egyptian man sputtered. "Well, yes," Lillian replied. The man exclaimed, "How awful! Will you be able to sleep tonight?" One of the orphan girls laughed out loud and said, "Why, Mama never has any food for tomorrow, and she never loses sleep over it!" "When Lillian Trasher founded Egypt's first orphanage, others thought that a lone American woman with no means of support would surely be killed or starve to death. But Lillian - certain of God's guidance - stood by her earlier promise to Him, 'If ever I can do anything for You, just let me know - and I'll do it.' In the midst of poverty, war, and deadly epidemics, Lillian faced each day with a heart of trust, modeling the life she hoped her children would someday live in their own homes.

    Young Sunnie Rae is contemplating what could be so important about using a silent letter E. Sure, E starts words of big things, like elephant, but when it ends words, most of the time it makes now sound at all, so who needs it? 
    This children's book shows how with the change of just one silent letter, words can drastically change to entirely different words. For example, instead of being cute, you'd be cut. Ouch. That would hurt. Or maybe your robe would rob or Superman would wear a cap instead of a cape. What would be so super about him then? Sunnie Rae realizes in the end how wrong she was to think it unimportant and finishes with "Thank Goodness for Silent E!" 
    Children and adults alike laugh as they read and see the changes that occur when using, or not using a silent ? All ages enjoy coming up with new words to make changes to. 
    This is a great addition to any elementary classroom or library. It is extremely helpful for teaching reading skills to student who are learning English as a first or second language.

    Until Life Do Us Part by Winston Marks - It's a long life, when you're immortal. To retain sanity you've got to be unemotional. To be unemotional, you can't fall in love... 
    It was a deathless world, but a woman was dying. 
    Anne Tabor lay limp and pale, her long, slender limbs making only shallow depressions on the mercury bath which supported her. Webb Fellow stood over her awaiting the effects of the sedative to relieve her pain. 
    His title was Doctor, but almost everyone in this age had an M. D. certificate with several specialties to his credit. Webb Fellow was simply one who continued to find interest and diversion in the field of physiological maintenance. 
    He stood tall and strong above her, lean-bellied, smooth-faced and calm appearing, yet he didn't feel especially calm. As the agony eased from Anne's face he spoke softly. 
    "I'm glad you came to me, Anne." 
    She moistened her lips and spoke without opening her eyes. "It was you or Clifford—and Cliff hasn't practiced for a century or more. It's—it's quite important to me, Webb. I really want to live. Not because I'm afraid of dying, but...." 
    "I know, Anne. I know." 
    Everyone in Chicago knew. Anne Tabor was the first female of that city to be chosen for motherhood in almost a decade. And in the three days since the news had flashed from Washington, Anne Tabor had generated within the blood-stream of her lovely, near-perfect body, a mutated cancerous cell that threatened to destroy her.
