Sinopse

In "Joe Strong, the Boy Wizard; or, The Mysteries of Magic Exposed," Vance Barnum intertwines elements of adventure and youthful exuberance with a critical examination of the art of magic. Through the eyes of young Joe Strong, readers are invited into a world where illusion meets reality, and the mechanics of conjuring tricks are unveiled with a sense of wonder and skepticism. The narrative employs a lively, accessible prose style that captures the imagination of its audience, while situating itself within the broader literary context of early 20th-century children's literature, characterized by its fascination with magic and exploration of moral themes. Vance Barnum, an American author with a penchant for writing captivating tales for young readers, draws on his own experiences and cultural milieu in crafting this work. His keen interest in illusion and performance art, combined with a backdrop of early American entertainment, undoubtedly inspired him to demystify magic for his young audience and create a relatable hero in Joe Strong. Barnum's commitment to promoting curiosity and rationality marks him as an important figure within the realm of children's literature during a time of rapid societal change. "Joe Strong, the Boy Wizard" is a delightful read that invites not only children but also adults to revisit their imagination while fostering critical thinking about the world around them. This book is an essential addition for those interested in the evolution of children's literature, magic, and the power of storytelling as a means of both entertainment and education.

    -Synopsis – 
    The son of an R&B legend tells the incredible but true story of a family torn apart by greed, corruption and the systematic abuse of black artists in the United States. Darren Cubie grew up in St. Louis not knowing why assassination attempts, FBI investigations, and witness protection programs weren’t supposed to be a ’normal’ part of life. With the hall of fame success of the iconic soul group known as the Chi-Lites, Darren’s father, founding member Credel “Red” Jones came a terrible price. Like so many other black artists of the day, the devil was in the details in the form of contracts and agreements with the mob filtered thru corrupt record executives and banksters. The bitter ending of Creadel’s journey in 1994, penniless on the streets of L.A., has spurred Darren on to become a champion for artists everywhere who’ve suffered from this decades-old system of abuse. 
    -Main Characters – 
    Darren Cubie, founder of Entertainers Against Corruption tells the story of Creadel “Red” Jones of the iconic Chi-Lites, the horrific betrayal by his mother Deborah Jones and aunt Regina Cubie and a family ripped apart by an industry of greed.

    With faith and testimony under increasing attack, parents can often be left wondering what they can do to help their children remain faithfully on the covenant path. Come as You Are by Samuel Norton, looks at some of the cultural aspects of membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and questions if those aspects of our lives are helping connect our youth and young adults to the Source of Redeeming Love. With the notion of creating “space,” readers will understand that the opportunities to connect with Jesus are limitless, if we will give our youth and young adults the tools and the “space” to do so their way. 
    Readers will understand that the “space” needed to connect with our Savior can be encroached upon by 
    • the language we use 
    • the lessons we teach 
    • our discomfort with not having the answers 
    • and our binary approach to life 
    Giving the rising generation the opportunity to connect with Jesus Christ isn’t about just making sure that they show up at church and attend activities every week. It’s about making sure they understand Christ stands willing to welcome them as they are. It’s about recognizing that He will perfect them in the process of time. It’s about helping them see that everyone can Come as They Are.
