  Deciding to follow Jesus is a reason to celebrate! New Christians are beginning beautiful relationships with God, but they might also be starting a list of questions about what Christians believe and how they live. Life as a Christian invites listeners to explore the key truths of the Christian faith and find the answers to big questions such as:  Who is God and how should I respond to him?  Why should I trust the Bible?  Who does God say I am?  What is the Church, and why should I be part of it?  With this clear explanation about spiritual disciplines and God's plan for his creation, new Christians will better know God and who they are called to be as his people. Life as a Christian works well in a church setting, for personal use, or as an evangelism tool, laying a strong foundation that new believers can build on with confidence as their faith grows.

  After discovering that the creatures from Cajun folklore actually exist, Feliciana is torn between hiding her Southern heritage and starting fresh at her new school—all while caring for an unexpected magical friend. Rachel M. Marsh’s debut novel is for fans of Tracey Baptiste’s The Jumbies and Katherine Applegate’s Crenshaw. 
  Twelve-year-old Feliciana Fruge does not like Boston. If given the chance, she would gladly move herself and her mom from the freezing city right back to Grandma’s house in Louisiana. Feliciana dreams of escaping her stepfather’s corny jokes and bland food and the relentless bullying at school for “being poor” and having a Southern accent. 
  So, when she transfers to a new school and has the chance to start fresh, Feliciana plans to be as un-Cajun as possible in order to blend in. But then Grandma sends Feliciana a mischievous and magical monster from Cajun folklore—Roux the rougarou. While Grandma might have meant for rambunctious Roux to keep Feliciana company, now Feliciana must juggle making new friends, outsmarting a bully, creating her best art to qualify for an upcoming competition—and hiding her mysterious, magical canine companion from everyone. 
  Rougarou Magic is a magic-laced, tenderly drawn love letter to Cajun folklore, the bittersweetness of starting over when you least expect it, and the unlikely friends you make along the way. Rachel M. Marsh’s debut novel explores themes of friendship, family, self-identity, and change and will captivate animal lovers and fans of Ghost Squad.

  Golf Balls Are Female

  I realize that anyone sufficiently intrigued by the title so as to open the cover of Golf Balls Are Female has probably already conjured up some ideas as to its contents. To end the suspense, I will tell you that Golf Balls Are Female is simply about the three greatest pleasures in a man's life-drinking, golf, and the OU-Texas football game. Unfortunately, life requires a lot of living in between these most gratifying of pursuits, so Golf Balls Are Female is also about public humiliation, immaturity, emotional desperation, broken engagements, deceit, stupidity, sexually transmitted diseases, cybersex, lovesick lunacy, divorce, one-night stands, heartache, and partaking of the world's oldest profession. Although there are numerous incidents that stretch to the limits of plausibility, the book is based on real life stories. In fact, bona fide concerns about personal retaliation have convinced me to actually leave out some of the more incriminating details. Some readers may find our humor irreverent, others may deem our lifestyles to border on misogynistic, both would be correct. However, those that read beyond the outrageous behavior will find that Golf Balls Are Female is really about friendship. Most importantly, this book answers one of modern man's most enduring questions-golf balls are definitely female!

  Serpent Legends: The History and...

  Editors Charles River

  The first specimen of megamouth shark (megachasma pelagios) was discovered on November 15, 1976, when it was found entangled in the drag anchor of a U.S. Navy ship. The new creature wasn't described scientifically until 1983…The megamouth remains the only species in its genus, and the only genus in its order.”  
  	That discovery was a reminder that the oceans of the world have always had an air of mystery. About 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, and until the 20th century no one had plumbed its depths. Even today the bigger seas and oceans remain a largely unexplored frontier, with new species being discovered every year. Thus it comes as no surprise that countless legends have arisen of strange creatures lurking in the depths.  
  	Of course, the most famous serpent of them all supposedly dwells in Scotland. While cryptids like Bigfoot and the Yeti have become popular in recent decades, none of them can touch the notoriety of the Loch Ness Monster, a large, unknown creature allegedly living in a loch in the Highlands of Scotland. Was it a relic dinosaur or perhaps an entirely new species? New photographs and new eyewitness sightings fueled a growing debate and transformed the Loch Ness Monster, also known as Nessie, into an instantly recognizable staple of pop culture, to the extent that hundreds of thousands of visitors came to Loch Ness every year in hopes of catching a glimpse of the loch’s famous inhabitant.  
  	The Loch Ness Monster remains an international brand and the best-known cryptid in the world, but after almost 100 years of fame and media attention, what do people really know about this cryptid, and is there any proof that there really is something large and unknown living in a remote Scottish loch?

  Megan Goes On Holiday - A Spirit...

  Megan is a 13-year-old teenage girl, who realises that she has psychic powers that others do not have. At first, she tried to talk to her mother about them, but with disastrous consequences, so she learned to keep quiet about them. 
  However, some people do offer to help and an animal showed a special friendship, but they were not `alive` in the normal sense of the word. They had passed on. 
  Megan has three such friends: Wacinhinsha, her Spirit Guide, who had been Sioux in his last life on Earth; her maternal grandfather, Gramps and a huge Siberian tiger called Grrr. 
  Wacinhinsha is extremely knowledgeable in all things spiritual, psychic and paranormal; her grandfather is a novice `dead person` and Grrr can only speak Tiger, as one might imagine and most of that, of course is unintelligible to humans. 
  In `Megan Goes on Holiday`, the family goes on holiday abroad, taking Megan for the first time. She becomes besotted with the place. On her return home, she makes a bit of a fool of herself by pretending to be what she is not and showing off. However, her mother and a few others bring her back to reality, and Wacinhinsha gives her an explanation for her recent infatuation with her holiday destination.

  In a charming town, bakers Buddy Knead and Patty Flour are celebrated for their magical dough, which produces wonders like giggling bread rolls, rocket-powered French bread, and winking doughnuts. Their extraordinary creations bring joy to everyone, but the pressure to innovate leaves them creatively exhausted. Desperate for a new idea, they fall prey to the mischievous goblin, Fizzlepop. He offers them a recipe for a spectacular cottage loaf, but his magical ingredients have a sinister twist. 
  Once sold, the loaf transforms into a life-sized cottage, unleashing a horde of tiny dough goblins that wreak havoc in the customer's home. The incident tarnishes the bakers' reputation, and the town turns against them. Just as they lose all hope, a benevolent fairy named Flower appears. She intervenes by capturing the goblins and reversing the chaotic magic, restoring the cottage to its loaf form. Flower then explains the goblin's deception to the townspeople, who forgive the bakers. Buddy and Patty, having learned a valuable lesson about trust and true magic, return to their bakery with their reputation restored and a renewed sense of purpose, continuing to delight the town with their genuinely magical, and now goblin-free, baked goods.
