  "Stories From The Faerie Queene" is a retelling or abridged version of Edmund Spenser's epic poem "The Faerie Queene," which is a richly imaginative allegorical work dedicated to celebrating the Tudor dynasty and Elizabeth I. The poem, originally published in the late 16th century, weaves tales of knights, dragons, maidens, and quests to represent virtues and human struggles. The stories within are adaptations of Spenser's intricate stanzas into prose or shorter narratives that make the text more accessible while maintaining its magical and moral complexity.

  Chiang Kai-Shek: The Life and...

  The Republic of China’s most famous leader and general was Chiang Kai-Shek, who rose from humble origins as the son of a local trader to become, as he liked to remind visitors, the ruler over more people than any other world leader. He certainly became one of the most influential leaders of the 20th century, yet today, he is considerably less well-known than many other figures from that period, which was so rife of chaos and tumultuous change. Chiang had come to power at a time when China was rebuilding itself after a period of internal conflict and turmoil, attempting to unify the nation in the face of the Japanese and the man who would become his arch-rival: Mao Zedong, leader of the Chinese Communists. 
  	Chiang’s delicate balancing act required shifting alliances, and his ability to negotiate effectively under the most adverse circumstances continues to make this a difficult period to understand clearly. Even the party that he led, the Kuomintang (KMT), was full of contradictions. The KMT was certainly corrupt and capable of brutality and violent repression of actual or perceived threats, yet it also brought a period of stability and economic growth to an impoverished China, supported women’s rights and land reform, and even established a quota for female members of parliament at a time when no other country in the world had even considered such a thing. After being defeated across mainland China by Mao, Chiang and the KMT moved to the island of Taiwan and presided over the “Taiwan Miracle,” the transition of this island to become one of the industrial and manufacturing leaders of South East Asia. 
  	This is the surprising, fascinating, complex, and sometimes baffling story of Chiang Kai-shek, and the eras of change through which he lived.

  Imbued with a sense of wonder, and a strong connection to the natural world, Laura Alary's books invite young readers to engage with the liturgical seasons of the church year. Breathe is a journey through Ascension, Pentecost, and Ordinary Time.    
  
  "The day of Pentecost is coming.
  
  The church is changing color.
  
  The white and gold of Easter
  
  will soon burst into flaming red,
  
  then cool to green."
  
  So begins Breathe: A Child's Guide to Ascension, Pentecost, and the Growing Time.
  Breathe explores children's questions: How can Jesus go away, yet promise to be with us always? Can we trust someone who comes and goes so mysteriously? 
  
  Moving beyond long ago and far away events, Breathe invites children to wonder about and watch for the presence and work of the Spirit here and now, in practices of prayer and mindfulness, and through acts of justice, generosity, and kindness. Slowly but surely, we discover that we are the body of Jesus now, his way of being in the world. And that whenever we choose the way of love, Jesus is there. Always.
  
  "In this poetic, thoughtful text, Laura deftly interweaves biblical stories with subtle invitations for readers to consider how the gentle wind of the Holy Spirit might be at work in their lives today. The text is imaginative, insightful and thoroughly inspirational -- a must for every parent, pastor and children's minister."—Glenys Nellist, author of the Love Letters from God, and Snuggle Time Prayers.
  
  Laura Alary writes in the warm, thoughtful style that has made her books so popular with families who want to encourage their children to think deeply and engage their spiritual imaginations. Breathe is the third book in the "Circle of Wonder: Liturgical Year Resource Set."
