Anyone familiar with the group Over the Rhine is a fan - and this is one of my favorite songs from one of their Christmas albums, O Little Town of Bethlehem.
Lindow, We have just added two more Discover Life studies (Ecclesiastes, Finding Meaning In Life and Did Jesus Say That?) to the Faith Alive website. These downloadable studies include both the leader guide and study guide in one download; just purchase as many copies as you have people in your group (including leaders.) Which study would you like to see made available next? We try to add them as we get requests for them.
I've been diving into middle grade and young adult fiction. Some recent favorites include:
Pay Attention, Carter Jones by Gary Schmidt Me (Moth) by Amber McBride The Beatryce Prophecy by Kate DiCamillo Amal Unbound by Aisha Saeed Just Like That also by Gary Schmidt Look Both Ways: A Tale Told in Ten Blocks by Jason Reynolds
Not the topic of an editorial, but an idea for an issue: When I was growing up in the sixties and early seventies one of the summer Banners was a "vacation Banner"...a week of devotions to use while traveling, additional Kids Pages to keep us busy in the car, and other things that I can't recall 45 years later. It was, as my Aunt Florence wrote in, "a gem".
