Retired missionar Larry Driskill decided to collect stories from other missionary colleagues about how Christmas was celebrated in various cultures. The result is a sprightly collection of stories gathered from the four corners of Christendom describing how Christ's birth is celebrated, written by those who have lived and worked around the world. In a most authentic manner it "captures the simplicity and beauty of Jesus' birth through the eyes of Christians around the world," says Congregational pastor Gordon Kirk. It also discusses the origins of various Christmas traditions and Christmas music making it a wonderful tool for using at the holidays in children's sermons at church, in Sunday school classes or for children's reading projects.

Kathryn Lindskoog, a renowned C.S. Lewis' scholar, has greatly expanded and updated her classic study of the Narnia series, The Lion of Judah in Never-Never Land, with a brand-new section, "Exploring the Narnian Chronicles." She has also added a study guide with questions plus a chronological exploration of these seven books. Filled with fresh background information, it provides the reader with the context for these books, explaining many English terms unfamiliar to the American reader. Included are Biblical parallels which illumine the plots. When C.S. Lewis read the first draft of this manuscript he commented, "You are in the centre of the target everywhere. For one thing, you know my work better than anyone else I've met; certainly better than I do myself." 

A bright collection of 52 true-to-life mission stories from around the world, brought together by retired missionary Lawrence Driskill, this is a wonderful compilation for children who love to read about far-away places. "The possibilities for use in vacation church schools, camps and conferences are limited only by one's imagination. Each story could be made into a drama, a puppet show or an exercise in the study of people and cultures," says The Princeton Seminary Bulletin.

This collection of real-life stories of missionaries and unsung heroes around the world has been collected by Lawrence Driskill. a good storyteller who transports our imaginations into all four corners of the world where Christ's gospel changes lives. This illustrated collection is an inspiring resource especially for Sunday schools and youth sermons.

A sparkling medley of stories which makes worldwide mission come alive. Written by Lawrence Driskill, this "fascinating array of stories" is a wonderful source of illustrations for children's sermons and Sunday school programs as well as great for reading to children.
