Sinossi

In "The Cock-House at Fellsgarth," Talbot Baines Reed presents a captivating tale set in the idyllic countryside of Victorian England. This novel intricately weaves together themes of friendship, adventure, and the moral growth of young boys, all set against the backdrop of a boys' school. Reed'Äôs literary style is characterized by its vivid descriptions and engaging dialogue, which breathe life into the characters and their experiences. The narrative functions as a microcosm of broader societal values, illuminating the importance of camaraderie and resilience amidst the trials of adolescence. Reed, a prolific author and a longtime educator, draws from his own experiences in the classroom and his deep understanding of boyhood. His own youth spent in the British educational system influenced his portrayal of school life, capturing the intricate dynamics of teacher-student relationships and the formative bonds among peers. Through this lens, Reed seeks to instill virtues of honor and courage, reflecting the Victorian ideals of morality and character development. I highly recommend "The Cock-House at Fellsgarth" to readers interested in Victorian literature and coming-of-age narratives. This book not only entertains but also invites readers to reflect on their own moral compass and the significance of virtue in friendships, making it a timeless addition to any literary collection.

God loves kids, and his really good plan is for kids to grow up in loving families with everything they need to be safe, happy, and whole. But the brokenness in the world has caused really big problems in some families. Because God loves these families, he provides people to help them, as well as foster families to welcome the kids who need safe and loving homes. How can we help young kids--kids in foster families, kids in foster care, or kids simply learning--to understand foster care in a gentle and biblical way? 
 
Beautifully illustrated, God Loves Kids is a trauma-informed, gospel-centered children's picture book designed to help you navigate difficult conversations about foster care with kids. Beginning with God's initial plan for kids and families, the story introduces, with compassion and sensitivity, the challenges that bring about the need for foster care, what it looks like for foster families to show up for kids, and the different feelings everyone involved in foster care may experience. The book ends where it begins, with the promise that God has a good plan for the kids he loves.
