A companion to Watch for the Light: Readings for Advent and Christmas. “Has there ever been a more hard-hitting, beautifully written, theologically inclusive anthology of writings for Lent and Easter? It’s doubtful . . . . Caveat lector: no one should have this much pleasure during Lent!” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) Rasmus and the Vagabond By Astrid Lindgren. Readers have told us how hard it is to find quality, family-friendly children’s fiction of the sort they grew up on. We’ve listened. In this first installment, we revive a long-out-of-print classic from one of the most beloved children’s authors of all time, Astrid Lindgren, the creator of Pippi Longstocking. After running away from an orphanage, nine-year-old Rasmus finds the world a cold and unfriendly place until he meets an extraordinary tramp called Paradise Oscar. Together they discover hidden treasure, dodge a shady pair of villains, and rescue a prisoner. A gripping plot interweaving cops and robbers, a deserted village, and a desperate chase leads to a sur- prising, thoroughly satisfying ending. Provocations: Spiritual Writings of Kierkegaard Edited by Charles E. Moore. Søren Kierkegaard, the philosopher known as the father of modern existentialism, is a famous figure. But who was Kierkegaard the Christian? This highly readable compilation of the best of Kierkegaard’s spiritual thought contains a little of everything: his attacks on “the mediocre shell” of conventional Christianity, his brilliant parables, and his wise and witty sayings. “In a culture awash in religious silliness, Kierkegaard’s bracing metaphors expose our mediocrities and energize us with a clarified sense of what it means to follow Jesus.” —Eugene Peterson “One of the top ten books of the year. Readable and spiritually vibrant.” —Christianity Today www.plough.com Free access to dozens of e-books for subscribers
