    The Nobles Are Coming by Arthur Jean Cox - Together they discussed the Nobles—the old prospector and the weary, frightened man. Then—utter terror struck! 
    I rested on reaching what seemed to be the top of the incline, and leaned back against the wall of the cave. For a moment the silence was unbroken. And then in the darkness there was a whisper of movement, an unseen stirring that was stilled by my involuntary, voiceless cry, "What's there!" 
    With only a blurred memory of having reached for it, I found my gun in my hand. 
    "Don't shoot!" said a burry voice. "Allow me to introduce myself: Mister J. J. Abrogado, A-b-r-o-g-a-d-o, Serbo-Croat prospector, at your service!" 
    I lowered the gun hesitantly, letting it waver in the general direction from which the voice came. It was a strange introduction, but the possessor of the voice must have been as frightened by my bursting suddenly into the cave as I had been on finding it already occupied. 
    "What are you doing here?" I asked. 
    "That's supposed to be my question," said Mister J. J. Abrogado. "Who are you? And what was it that frightened you?" 
    "Sorry," I apologized. "My name's Ross. I'm an archeologist. I was on a trip alone in my ground car when it broke down. Being no mechanic, I couldn't fix it. I decided to walk back to Marsport. I walked all day and most of this night, when—Well, listen!" 
    I bent my head to one side. Through the earphones of my headwarmer I could hear from far away a vague presentiment of movement, a dim blur upon the horizon of sound. 
    "The nightrunners," said Abrogado in recognition. "I thought it might have been something else that frightened you." There was an unspoken question in his silence. 
    "What?" I asked, wondering. 
    The cave was like a bottle of blackness. I could see nothing of my companion, not even his head and shoulders which must have been thrust rather sharply forward.

    ECPA Easter Bestseller 2024!How can we help children experience the true meaning of Lent, cultivate generosity, and prepare their hearts for Easter? Make Room by Laura Alary offers an innovative and engaging way for children to approach Lent, teaching them how to "make room" for Jesus in their everyday lives through acts of kindness, hospitality, and self-reflection.
    This beautifully illustrated children's book connects everyday activities—like baking bread, having a neighbor over for dinner, or un-cluttering a room—with the story of Jesus' life, showing how these simple tasks mirror the values of justice, love, and sacrifice that Jesus lived. It's not just a book about Lent; it's an invitation to experience it with all the senses, helping children understand how to embody faith and discipleship in their own unique ways.
    Unlike traditional books that simply recount the Passion narrative, Make Room thoughtfully integrates the themes of hospitality and self-giving that were central to Jesus' ministry. It invites children to wonder about the story of Lent and Easter, teaching them that this season is not just about giving up things, but about creating space in our hearts and lives for others—and for God.
    Why Families Love Make Room:
    
    - Thoughtful, accessible explanations of Lent and Easter tailored for children.
    - Practical, real-life activities for children to engage with the Lenten season.
    - Inspires children to think deeply about generosity, helping others, and self-giving in a fun, relatable way.
    - Beautiful illustrations by Ann Boyajian that bring the story to life and help children visualize the biblical narrative.
    - Encourages meaningful conversations about faith, love, and preparation for Easter.
    Praise for Make Room:
    
    - "This is a poetic, practical, and theologically wise book for children." – L. Ann Jervis, Professor of New Testament, Wycliffe College, University of Toronto.
    - "Make Room helps children experience Lent with all their senses. A wonderful resource for families and Christian educators." – Rev. Olivia Stewart, Director of Children & Worship.
    - "A tender and thoughtful guide to Lent for children. The perfect resource for families wanting to prepare for Easter meaningfully." – Amy Shaw, Educator.
    Perfect for Sunday school, family devotionals, or bedtime reading, Make Room makes Lent a time of joyful anticipation and deep spiritual reflection. The second book in the "Circle of Wonder: Liturgical Year Resource Set," it is an essential addition to your family's Easter bookshelf.
    Make Room is more than just a children's book; it's a way to help the next generation grow in their faith and understanding of the beautiful season of Lent—teaching them that, by making room for others and for God, they prepare themselves for the resurrection and new life in Christ.
