  At last Orville was free, soaring above the sand dunes, wind in his face. Lying in the glider's wing, he moved his hips in the control cradle and the craft began to turn as planned. But then something went wrong. The glider wanted to go into a spin, and as Orville struggled with the controls, it came to a standstill in midair. When Orville Wright (1871-1948) and his brother Wilbur set out to solve the problem of flight, they recognized that success would come with careful observation, perseverance, and ingenuity. From experiments in their Dayton, Ohio, bicycle shop to test flights over the beaches of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the amateur aviation enthusiasts risked their lives and worked tirelessly to solve the problems that had stumped the world's best scientists. Together the Wright brothers designed and constructed a power-driven airplane and, in it, made the world's first controlled, sustained flights. As a result, the skies were opened and the era of aviation began. Heroes of History is a unique biography series that brings the shaping of history to life with the remarkable true stories of fascinating men and women who changed the course of history.

  We may know a few Bible stories, or maybe we've studied the Bible for years. But do we know what's it really all about, and how all the different pieces fit together? 
  Renowned Bible scholar Craig Bartholomew and Bible teacher Paige Vanosky present the story of Scripture in thirty short readings, each designed to take about half an hour. Together these chapters condense the biblical story into one easily understood story, the story of our world. This story begins with creation and ends with the wrapping up of history as it follows one branch of a family tree from Adam and Eve to Jesus, and beyond. It's "the greatest story in the world," one surely to provide impact and meaning to your life. 
  "Whether you are new to the Bible or looking for a fresh engagement with it, The 30-Minute Bible is a version I highly recommend." Bishop Todd Hunter 
  "The authors have given us solid biblical knowledge from a broadly ecumenical point of view that teachers from any Christian tradition can use with confidence." Rev. Jack Baca
