  In this haunting and deeply moving tale, Hans Christian Andersen weaves a powerful contrast between the serenity of the natural world and the heavy burdens of the human soul. A Story follows an earnest pastor whose thunderous sermons warn of eternal punishment—yet outside his church, the world is radiant with warmth, blossoms, birdsong, and the quiet kindness of creation. 
  When tragedy strikes and his beloved wife passes away, the pastor’s rigid beliefs are challenged in a profound and unforgettable way. One night, the gentle spirit of his wife appears and leads him on a supernatural journey through the lives of sinners—revealing the fears, wounds, and humanity hidden behind every dark deed. Through this humbling vision, he confronts the limits of judgment and the boundless depth of compassion. 
  A timeless blend of moral allegory, spiritual reflection, and ethereal storytelling, A Story invites listeners to reconsider mercy, forgiveness, and the divine spark within every person. 
  Narrated with grace and emotional clarity by Michele Wagner, this classic Andersen tale resonates as strongly today as it did more than a century ago.

  A Rose of the Ghetto - Jewish...

  Israel Zangwill

  Israel Zangwill was born in London on 21st January 1864, to a family of Jewish immigrants from the Russian Empire.  
   
  Zangwill was initially educated in Plymouth and Bristol.  At age 9 he was enrolled in the Jews' Free School in Spitalfields in east London. Zangwill excelled here.  He began to teach part-time at the school and eventually full time.  Whilst teaching he also studied with the University of London and by 1884 had earned his BA with triple honours in philosophy, history, and the sciences. 
   
  His writing earned him the sobriquet "the Dickens of the Ghetto" primarily based on his much lauded novel ‘Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People’ in 1892 and its glimpse of the poverty-stricken life in London's Jewish quarter. 
   
  As a writer he was keen to reflect on his political and social outlooks.  His simulation of Yiddish sentence structure in English aroused great interest. His mystery work, ‘The Big Bow Mystery’ (1892) was the first locked room mystery novel.   
   
  Zangwill was also involved with narrowly focused Jewish issues as an assimilationist, an early Zionist, and later a territorialist. In the early 1890s he joined the Lovers of Zion movement in England. In 1897 he joined Theodor Herzl (considered the father of modern political Zionism) in founding the World Zionist Organization.   
   
  Zangwill quit the established philosophy of Zionism when his plan for a homeland in Uganda was rejected and founded his own organisation; the Jewish Territorialist Organization. Its stated goal was to create a Jewish homeland in whatever territory in the world could be found for them.  
   
  Amongst the challenges in his life he found time to write poetry.  He had translated a medieval Jewish poet in 1903 and his volume ‘Blind Children’ in 1908 was well received. 
    
  ‘The Melting Pot’ in 1909 made Zangwill’s name as an admired playwright.  When the play opened in Washington D.C., former President Theodore Roosevelt leaned over the edge of his box and shouted, "That's a great play, Mr. Zangwill, that's a great play."   
   
  Israel Zangwill died on 1st August 1926 in Midhurst, West Sussex.

  Pregnant. Shunned. Heartbroken. This is Eirene's true story of how she left the Amish. Like most Amish children, Eirene had a carefree childhood in a tight-knit family life in the Old Order Amish community where she grew up in Indiana. Though she had no indoor plumbing, no electricity, and no modern conveniences, her young life was full of joy. Horseback riding, reading, working with her father, and singing while making noodles and quilts with her sisters filled her days as she grew up.  
  When Eirene becomes pregnant and marries at the tender age of 17, the harsh reality of her new life sets in. From getting snowed in by 10 feet of snow to carrying icy buckets of water inside just to make coffee or wash dishes, Eirene remains steadfast in providing the best care she can for her son. As she has four more children, her world revolves around them, and they bring her more joy than she could have ever imagined. Though she loves being a mother, and she loves her family, Eirene knows there has to be more to life than just being a housewife confined to her home with no money, no phone, and no transportation. Doesn’t God have a bigger purpose for her? Wasn’t she meant for more? When Eirene makes a Christian friend, she is hungry to learn more about the loving God who died for her and rose again, a God so unlike the one she’d learned about growing up Amish.

  "Although the tiniest bacterial cells are incredibly small, each is, in effect, a veritable microminiaturized factory containing thousands of exquisitely designed pieces of intricate molecular machinery and made up of 100,000,000,000 atoms, far more complicated than any machine built by man and absolutely without parallel in the nonliving world." (Biochemist Michael Denton). What is the most absurd myth of our culture? Are we really the result of a series of cosmic accidents? Can we explain the origin of design information in our DNA? Darwinists cannot explain; they can only assert. Darwinists cannot account for the origin of information. In this briefing pack, Dr. Stephen Meyer joins Chuck Missler in reviewing some of the revealing insights from microbiology and the information sciences on the evidences of design in the origin of life and their implications for our destiny.
