Monteagle

Pansy

Sinossi

"YES," said Mrs. Hammond, a little sigh in her voice as she spoke, "Mr. Hart is going with us; I don't know how long he will stay. I'm afraid there is very little on Monteagle to hold him."Two children sat on the extreme end of the broken steps; one was pale, thin, hollow-eyed and sorrowful. The other was rosy-cheeked, chubby, and dirty. The pale one was perhaps twelve years old; the other, somewhat younger."Only hear that name!" said the hollow-eyed girl. "Monteagle! Doesn't it make you feel cool just to think it over?""I didn't think it over," said Rosy Cheek. "What is it, and where is it?""I don't know where it is," spoken very wearily, as though it was an effort to speak at all. "In Heaven, maybe; the word sounds like it. Monteagle! It must be high, and cool, and still. I wonder what it feels like to be cool and still? Oh! How 'hot' it is! O dear me!"There was such a world of longing and weariness in the sentence, that Mrs. Hammond turned and looked curiously at the girl; then uttered a little exclamation of surprise, and perhaps dismay."Who is that girl, and what is the matter with her?"

The Death and the Victory

Marty Machowski

On the rocky hill the young jerboas watched as the one they called the king hung on the cross, dying. Suddenly, the earth began to tremble, then rumble, then quake. Rocks split and tombs broke open. The dove said, "They will take Jesus's body and lay him in a tomb. The serpents think they've won a victory, but on the third day Jesus will rise, just as he said. The serpents don't realize that darkness has already been defeated and soon Jesus will appear—alive!"
The Death and the Victory by bestselling author Marty Machowski follows the adventures of the animals who could have witnessed the events of the New Testament from Jesus's death through Revelation. Join jerboas at the cross, horses at Christ's empty tomb, leopards watching Jesus ascend to heaven, turtledoves at Pentecost, squirrels who follow Saul to Damascus, and many animals on the island of Patmos with John.
The Death and the Victory is the fourth of four books in the Redemption Tales series for ages 8–12, retelling Bible narratives from the perspective of the animals who could have witnessed the events firsthand. Each story includes Bible study questions to acquaint kids with the "truth behind the tales" and offers a new point of view of God's overarching story of redemption found throughout his Word.
